Tom Clancy, though a man I disagreed with on many an issue, was quite a good writer and I recommend you all read The Hunt for Red October if you can. It is actually a very interesting novel (and well-researched - actual Navy personnel arrived at Clancy's door because his depiction of a military submarine was too good).
So yeah, there's that book recommendation and piece of real life news.
I've only seen the film so far, but it seemed like he really knew his stuff.
