Glass of Wine and a Good Book

on: Aug/11/05 and its been viewed 1,057 times

Memorial Day It’s a rare night that I call it a night early. Tonight is one of them. Usually, I work until all hours of the night/morning. Except, on occasion - I just feel the need to shut it down, pour a glass of wine and curl up in bed with a good book.

Tonight, I’m going to bed with Vince Flynn. Of course, if you ask him - he’ll flat out deny it! I love his books, though - - and have read every single one of them. Except, of course, the current one I”m reading called “Memorial Day” - - which I’ve just started to dig into. I have to get this one done soon, though - because his newest one called “Consent To Kill” comes out in October!

Gotta love Mitch Rapp!

    By some kind of amazing coincidence, I am reading that same book right now. I haven’t finished it, I have about another 150 pages to go, but it is really really good.

    My mom keeps telling me that I have to give him a try. I have a few of his books, but they’re part of a HUGE stack (okay, pile on and around 2 7 foot bookshelves) to read and they keep getting lost. I’m happy that I finally finished the excellent Secret Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines with the Elite Warriors of SOG last night, which was a great book. I could see plenty of parallels to Iraq, and John Plaster (who’s from our neck of the woods) keeps it moving very nicely. For now, I have to finally start Harry Potter #4!

    Hmm…I’ve been recommended his books, too. Maybe I’ll have to actually crack a book other than the Alan Baker Little Rabbit series or the seven thousand Scholastic books we own…I read to the kids more than I read to myself.
    And the wine…can’t forget the wine…

    I might need to check some of his books out. I am always keeping my eye out for a new author that I might enjoy.

    Hey Davey - I’ve finished the book too. all I can say is that this country needs a Mitch Rapp, or five. :)

    Mitch Rapp pretty much owns everyone he tears people apart and vince flynn should keep spitting these books out as fast as he can
