We can only assume of prescription painkiller overdose or the like.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/03/books/tom-clancy-best-selling-novelist-of-military-thrillers-dies-at-66.html

Tom Clancy, whose complex, adrenaline-fueled military novels made him one of the world’s best-selling and best-known authors, died on Tuesday in a hospital in Baltimore. He was 66.

Man, I love a good terrible, terrible, terrible author's death. This is slightly more exciting than when Robert Jordan (aka Jimmy Ringley) died, and obviously a pale shadow of the global celebration by people who can read that will follow Dan Brown's inevitable death by falling illuminanti sculpture.

I like Clancy a zillion times more than Dan Brown. But there's already a thread about this in the OoT.

Who gives a fuck? It's a news story. There are threads everywhere I'm sure. The idea that I'm going to check OOT before I comment on current events is preposterous.

Just as well, research is a waste of time anyway.

Well Dan Brown almost certainly requires assistance to type, being easily confused by the symbolic puzzles of QWERTY. His assistant, tall handsome Oxford educated typist Simon Huntandpeckington happily punches the plastic keys of the device that contains letters and allows them to pass electronically from the users hands and into the central processing unit of the box that holds the computer...for him.

Clancy is a horrible writer. Probably worse for me than most people. I imagine lawyers probably don't like to read John Grisham, etc.

The dictionary called and said "fuck you". Checking OOT is research? Of what? Reddit from 3 weeks ago?

He has to keep writing himself into his books in order to keep the spell that binds him to this world active.

He's been dead for the best part of a decade. He's being ghost-written by a pair of slippers possessed by the spirits of the unburied dead.

The hunt for Red October was awsome. Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't get to like submarines.

I never knew there were so many things in an engine room that don't react well to bullets.

The submarine parts are, I assume, fine. I've never been aboard a submarine. The intelligence parts are laugh out loud stupid.

Stand in a narrow hall and punch yourself in the ear a couple of times. Congratulations, you're on a submarine.

Well sure, that's a given. But you read it for the submarine parts.
