SSG: Spy/Spec-Ops Group discussion

"The Old Spook" has fallen off the radar in 2016. Too bad; it's one of the most authentic spy novels out there. The Old Spook

This simply isn't a good era for the success of novels, authors, readership, reading audiences, or even basic literacy. it's just not a book-enriched society anymore.

What intellect--what interest in the world--can you ask, or expect from people who carry little personal TVs around with them and look down into them every few seconds?

Reading, learning, understanding, ideas, communicating...its all dead. over. finished. Killed off, by rampant over-individualization. Everyone is in their own little personal, airtight, cocoon.

The best thing that can happen is a sunspot or EMP blast, then people might start reading again.

I was still glad for the heads up so I was able to grab an e-book copy before it went off the shelves - even if I don't have the time to read it right now. I still hope to be able to read it sometime later this year :-)

Glad to hear. Thanks!
