Schrwartz' book is a great read. Carey's is pretty good too.

One that is slightly longer but a top read is Andre Agassi. I think its called Open.
If you don't like it, change it. If you don't want to change it, it can't be that bad!

I didn't think Without Remorse was a Jack Ryan book?

I think it centers more around John Clark, as well as Jacks father Emmett Ryan. Thats what Wikipedia says anyway. It seems like it comes first in the chronology of the series, but was published 7th.

I'm a fan of reading books in published order rather than chronological, but it would still be good.

I have just finished reading the Godfather - Mario Puzo. I have to say its one of the greatest books I have ever read. I could not put it down. I have just ordered the sequel The Sicilian from bookdepository.

You will enjoy The Sicilian as well.
The last Don from Mario Puzu is also a good read

Schwarz spends some time on his knee's but more on his gambling.

Pretty easy read Diss, the author does a good job of keeping the book flowing.

I'm not a big reader, so the fact I finished this so quickly might be a recommendation in itself. 8/10
