Does anyone have difficulty in just throwing away an old book?
Nearly. So very nearly. Tom Clancy's "Night Moves" is the first book to actually make me
guffaw out loud at it's lameness. Perhaps old Clancy was having an "off-day" when he wrote it, but I really find it hard to believe that he sells so many books, on the strength of that bilge. Halfway through chapter 2, I couldn't take any more and hurled it towards the bin (trash can), where it stayed on the floor. Now, if it had actually
gone in the trash can, it would have gone out, but since it landed
near the trash can, it got a reprieve. Maybe I'll keep it around as an example of how not to write an "action/adventure" story.
It just struck me after writing that, maybe I'm just far too lazy and fatalistic.
