Read some Vince Flynn and Brad Thor with the new Tom Clancy and WEB Griffin thrown in for good measure. Ever read the Stieg Larsson novels, Girl With The Dragon Tatoo, Girl Who Played With Fire, Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest? Thought they were silly when I first heard of them. Actually pretty decent reads, I liked the guys writing style. Good luck, glad it went well. BTW, my wife usually does my IV's, she stuck me once with a 14ga. and I was thinking it was the usual 18 or 20ga. like what you most likely got, holy $hit! I think she pulled out a skin plug! That 1000cc bag of fluids got into me REAL quick.
