Balance Of Power ~ Tom Clancy

I've just started getting into his books. They are pretty good.

I tried reading "the Bear and the Dragon" a little while ago, but I had to stop because
1: the Russian names were ten letters long, each with two forenames and a surname

2: scene shifted to US, Jack Ryan, I can handle that!

3: then went to where I initially thought was China, but ended up being Japan (or vice versa, I can't remember!), then to the other country that wasn't the country I first thought it was

4: I thought I better start reading books and notes for exams instead

I'll try again after exams, though. I'm not put off that easy!

I'll read anything if it stands still long enough!

Why???

I speak fluent Ikea-ish!!! I can loom at the pieces of wood, look at the finished picture and mentally piece the furniture together!!! Never fails!!

I think this puts me on the same wavelength as the ikea designers which is rather worrying!!

I am currently reading this weeks copies of "Retail newsagent", "Convienience Store Magazine" and "Asian Trader" ( I don't know why they send me this but apparently i qualify for a free copy!!

)

It is indeed worrying Chris!

I suppose you've either got it or you ain't!

I picked up this book again on.....hang on......it might have been sometime this week or last, I'll say Wednesday last week!

I'd read about 50 pages when I first picked it up, and gave up temporarily for above reasons. I'm well into the 700s now, and enjoying it!

Got names and countries sorted out, and I wonder what Tony Blair would make of him being portrayed as a PM who says "old boy" a few times!

Lauren · 15 Jul 2005, 20:00

As of midnight - the new Harry Potter (half blood prince) ... can't wait!

needmoremeat · 15 Jul 2005, 20:03

I'm saving that for Sunday as a nice distraction from what otherwise would be me running round the house getting excited for Monday night, or sitting around, wishing it was Monday night!

Alex · 17 Jul 2005, 15:26

Some nice suprises layered into the book so far, and I'm only page 250. Though, I haven't been reading it entirely devotedly.

Ageing Bat · 18 Jul 2005, 08:57
