While Crispy hit on the fact that Harrison Ford wasn't in it...being persnickety I have to point out that Ford wasn't the first movie Jack Ryan. He was the best. But Alec Baldwin was first.It was a grade 11 class, school is too cheap to buy new textbooks.
Anywho, currently onto reading this book:
It's been really good so far. For English I have to compare the book to the movie, in a 1200 word essay. So I should start reading more of it.
The movie and book are fairly close. The only "danger" is that Clancy has a bad habit of consolidating a 500 page story into 1200 pages. Not so much in this book, but a LOT of his others. Part of the reason that I've stopped reading Clancy as avidly.
I'm currently reading "Explosive Eighteen" by Janet Evanovich. I love her because she's irreverent and funny.
I'm also reading "Black Out" by John Lawton. It's a police procedural set in WWII in War torn London, England.
Since I bought my NOOK, I'm reading even more books. I have a ton of books on the thing, and I'm planning on reading my way thru some lesser known authors like Archer Mayor, Alex Dryden, and some others.

Little Princes. It is Conor Grennan's memoir of his trips to war-stricken Nepal to save trafficked children. I don't have the time to read much or effort to find books worth reading, but this one is flat-out amazing. I highly recommend it, and I'm only halfway through.

I love sniper books, but after awhile the same stories started showing up. This however is totally different. Although, some of the stories seem like something out of a Call of Duty game, but it says it's real.

I'm ~60% of the way through the final book. My wife is almost done listening to the first book. The way I see it, books always have more value than going to the movies. For the cost of my wife and me going to see the first movie, I ended up getting all 3 books on the kindle for the same price. We ended up getting the three audiobooks for free.

I, Robot. For the 4th time in 3 years.
At least you read. Doesn't matter what you read as long as you do.
We are reading To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, for English class. This book is amazing.

Have you read any Stephen Hunter books?
He wrote the book that the movie "Shooter" was based on.
He has also written a load of other books that center around shooting and sniping.
Some of the best fiction I've read in a while.

At least your English teacher makes you read good books. Tho I would have put Stephen kings ( Richard bachman) BLAZE as a Mockingbird tie in.
Sat down Saturday and read the Dark Tower 4.5 Wind Through The Keyhole. I enjoyed it but I'm a big tower geek anyway. For SK it was very short and a quick read (305 pages).
Edit: I'm an idiot :
Of mice and men and blaze are the two I would lump together not mockingbird. Sorry.

That book is so over-rated. I enjoyed it very much when I read it, but after reading some reviews I realized that it isn't that ground breaking. It's just a decent book.

I'm currently reading one called Iron Kingdom: The Rise and Downfall of Prussia, 1600-1947. It's a pleasure read, and so far, it's been interesting, and I haven't even gotten to my most anticipated part (18th and 19th centuries) yet.
Prussian history is awesome.

I've just finished Empire and Foundation and have Second Foundation ready to go but the E&F seemed like it was written without any soul. It's just a story and a bit dull at that. I should carry on with the series because I love Asimov's work but I might have to give it a few weeks before I pick up the next book.

I haven't read a book in a long while, i think the last book i read was, 'Six Men Who Built the Modern Auto Industry' by Richard A Johnson, quite a good book if my memory serves me correctly, (particularly enjoyed reading about Soichiro Honda, and the history of Honda in that book).
Anyway, decided to start reading again and at the moment i'm reading 'The Psychopath Test' by Jon Ronson (the same guy that wrote 'The Men Who Stare At Goats'), iv'e only just completed the second chapter but already i'm enjoying the read.

Currently reading "The Bullied Box Set" by Christopher Smith. Once I done with it I'll probably read "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein again (for the... 4th or 5th time) and then I'll get back to re-reading "The Dresden Files" series by Jim Butcher. I may even try out the "Codex Alera" series by Jim Butcher too.
