Week One Independent Reading

This week I read a portion of the book Patriot Games, by Tom Clancy. This book is about Jack Ryan, a CIA analyst, who by sheer chance, stops a terrorist attack on British royalty. It was interesting how the book shows, that trained men do what they are trained to do, instinctively. It was also interesting how it showed how not all terrorist are just mindless trigger pullers, but that some are very educated and very strategic. I also found it funny how it showed how people under high dosages of pain-killers, tend to say things that they usually wouldn't.
