  I read Tom Clancy.
  
  But I think he jumped the shark by writing Executive Orders... that was the pinnacle of his novel-writing skills.
  
  All his novels after that weren't that good.

  I like to read, but nowadays with the Internet and the TV and the newspapers, I tend to suffer from information overload, which has tended to put me off reading the more difficult books recently. I've just finished "The Rule of Four" which IMHO, was a rather disappointing and unthrilling thriller. Next week I shall attempt Bertrand Russell's "The History of Western Philosophy". Wish me luck...

  Lol...this is a silly assumption that reading is decreasing in SG. In fact, its increasing....take a walk to your nearest library...you will see what i mean...on the mrt, people are readin too.
  
  Personally, I love reading...i will have at least 1 book in my bag (currently reading E-Myth Mastery) whenever i go out. In fact, I started bookselling becoz of the love for books (now thats a bookworm). If there is anyone there who love non-fiction/self-enrichment books, PM me as i wish to form a little book community and network with like minded people. Cheers!

  I've read LOTR twice already. If you like fantasy, I recommend 'The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever' by Stephen Donaldson. It's first class epic fantasy, not like much of the junk you'd find in the fantasy market these days.
