Tom Clancy has passed away at the age of 66.
I enjoyed reading his books, quite a few years ago now.
So, what’s your favourite of his books?

Great quote from Clancy – applicable to just about every endeavour:
Mr. Clancy said none of his success came easily, though, and he would remind aspiring writers of that when he spoke to them.
“I tell them you learn to write the same way you learn to play golf,” he once said. “You do it, and keep doing it until you get it right. A lot of people think something mystical happens to you, that maybe the muse kisses you on the ear. But writing isn’t divinely inspired — it’s hard work.”
