I started to read The President's Missing by James patterson

[Kablooie]

And Bill Clinton.

A few chapters in it started to talk about some crisis involving a Russian puppet state and I lost all interest.
What's really going on is so much more crazy and horrible with America heading full tilt towards becoming a Russian puppet state itself, that the the book seemed simpleminded and frivolous.

I don't think I'll go back to it because I don't care about issues that concerned the old American politics. no story can compare with real life today.

1. I started reading a James Patterson book recently and bailed. He writes too many books

The early ones were good. Now he's a book factory

6. Agree there

It really looks like he is "collaborating" with anyone he can find just to be somewhat of a production line.

2. It's rather topical and it keeps reminding me of "Salvation" that I just binge watched

3. I had the impression it was about a huge cyber threat

to our nation. A WaPo review complained that too much of the action was in a room where computer nerds were trying to crack code. People say they enjoyed reading it, though. It has a huge printing, so I'm waiting for the used price to plummet.

My hope is that it will raise awareness of our very dangerous cyber vulnerability. Hillary had big, urgent plans to advance greatly on what Obama managed to start in spite of congressional obstruction, assuming we created a mostly Democratic congress of like minds of course. Oh, well. It seems strange that NK's Kim would even bother building a nuclear arsenal these days. Maybe he's just old fashioned.

4. I read about half of Jon Meacam's

Soul Of America an lost interest,too. It is a good History book but since I already know that the reality of today is making me sick.

When you have watched the slow slide of a once great Nation now run by bigots, grifters and greedy old men the past seems pretty unimportatant right now.

The Country and Infrastructure is falling apart, yet Trump wants a 30 Million dollar Parade. His last one collapsed on him when the Teams refused to show up. Trump pathetically tried to mouth the words of a Patriotic song he did not know.

The debt is exploding all over but Trump has to have his multi million dollar weekends. He travels constantly on tax payer dime to find loonies to praise him while he tells lie after lie!

Do I sound depressed and angry? Well, I am!

5. A few pages in

It sounded just like what we see daily in the news,too much like it...
