Reading A Spy Fiction Thriller Book
One of the things that I like doing is reading pocketbooks. I like books that thrills me such as horror or action packed books. My favorite book is “The Bourne Identity” a 1980 spy fiction thriller novel by Robert Ludlum. The story is about a Protagonist who had an amnesia and who must discover who he is and why several groups, including an assassin and the CIA, are trying to kill him. It is the first in a series of novels written by Ludlum, and later became a movie but I like reading the book better than watching the movie.
Usually films are a bit different than the pocketbooks eventhough they have the same title. That is why most probably there is a small difference in the physical appearance of a certain person in the movie compared to the book. Reading books for me is much more interesting than watching the movie itself. Specially when I start putting my Titanium Reading Glasses on I seem to feel That I am the protagonist in the story that i am trying to read and let my imagination go wild which I prefer more than just sit and relax while watching the movies.
What I like most about books about espionage is the fact that it plays with your mind making your mind think and suddenly makes a twist in every part of the story which really might be confusing but a little exciting.
Espionage is well documented throughout history. It is a military art of obtaining intelligence from the enemy. The ancient writings of Chinese and Indian military strategists such as Sun-Tzu and Chanakya contain information on deception and subversion. Mostly stories like this would be about assassinations, spies and secret agents which makes the story really exciting. In Feudal Japan they often used ninja to gather intelligence later on as technology starts to evolve modern espionage methods has been developed. From shurikens and samurais to high tech gadgets and satellites similar to a Magnifying Glass function however it could magnify any part of the world more than a thousand times.
Spies are hard to identify unlike criminals whose looks has an intention of killing they can look ordinary and can be anybody around you. A newspaper boy, a driver, a saleslady or an old man with a Wide Reading Glasses waiting for a perfect moment to attack anytime. Well then I think I’ve shared too much information about them I hope there are no spies around I might get killed. I should continue my reading.
