Welcome to Litsy!

(1984) I tried this once years ago and bounced off. I remember hearing Clancy's work described as "thrillers for people who find 'Jane's Fighting Ships' thrilling," and that matched my experience. But this time I pushed, let the jargon slide by, and ... It wasn't bad. There's a submarine duel near the end that was thrilling even for this guy who likes "Jane's" only for pretty pictures. Still not my thing but this time I get its appeal

I hate when they change the cover of the book for the movie/tv series 😒 still enjoyed this book even if I‘m not a fan of the cover ☺️

Bought a used copy of The Hunt for Red October, and not only is it signed, but there's an invoice from 1986 tucked inside! This is why I love buying used.

This is the book haul I landed from my parent's basement, as discussed on our most recent episode!

Have you read this series?

Day 14 of #20series20days

Tom Clancy‘s series is a bit dated now, but I love Jack Ryan, the knight in shining armor, fighting for truth and justice against evil in the world. Wish it were so clear cut today! I‘ve held onto the books all these years—at some point I want to re-read them all.
@Andrew65

This one's a typical Clancy with lots of background information and many, many details. To many, for my taste. I soon was lost in all those characters, datas and settings. I guess, if you read Clancy chronologically and more often, you won't be troubled by that.

But thanks to this book I've been able to discover a whole new world: the world of submarines. A world I will never see in real life. Thank you for that, Mr Clancy!

Next up on my TBR #FallIsBooked

What book could be better for a prompt of #October? I admit that this has been on my TBR and untouched since.....2009? Maybe 2008... I really should read this!

I desperately wanted to like this book. I remember the original movie and got excited when this was re-released. The main plot was intriguing, but I couldn‘t get through all the technical submarine stuff.

#3/4 Okay guys, I have some books here that need new homes! 😃
Swap anyone? I'll ship anywhere in the continental US via Media Mail. All my books are in great condition. Please let me know if you guys are interested in any of these or have any questions.

Been a whirlwind of a trip. I‘ve done so much and had such little time for reading I only finished one book I brought with! Guess all my reading will be on the flight home tomorrow.

This was my first Tom Clancy book and rightfully so as it was his debut novel and the first appearance of his famous Jack Ryan character.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys military operation reads or submariner reads.

Looking to finish these two books this weekend. Hopefully a couple of ebooks as well.

While touring the USS Midway, I enjoyed the irony of the book choice.

On a side note...my book fell apart while I was reading it. I told you all it was really old! I have lugged this around for years and through moves to different houses. I also bought it at a used book sale. I guess it‘s time to retire this old paperback, as big chunks of it and many individual pages are falling out. It‘s still sad for me. I HATE not passing books along for someone else to enjoy. Ugh 😫

Wow, it is difficult to say how long I have been holding on to this book on my #TBR...20 years is not an exaggeration. I finally read it for #MountTBR #192019 & #GreatAmericanRead. I have seen the movie numerous times, but of course the book was better. It was much more involved, and you could get inside each character‘s head. It‘s very technical, and at times it was over my head. I did think the cat-and-mouse game was very compelling. Great book!

Light reading for when the world descends into bellicosity. (The formatting is messed up in this ebook 🙁)

I suppose under the Atlantic is pretty close to the sea, isn't it? ???

This is really the grandfather of the military technothriller genre, taking cues from the exuberant mechanical adventures of Clive Cussler, the tense spy novels of John LeCarré, and the cross-border action thrillers of Robert Ludlum. It has all the flaws of a work done by a privileged white guy obsessed with the navy, but for all that, it's a fun read ? #somethingforsept

Old Tom Clancy. Yes. 👍🏼 #septphotochallenge #somethingforsept #madeintoamovie

I started reading it, but he lost me with side stories and background info. I love the story, but it was too much distraction from the main plot for me.
