From: "Mark" 

Actually, it's fairly rare for me to read fiction at all; a couple of
Clancy's, most of Vince Flynn's and this one book are all I can think of
offhand. I guess I prefer reading books to learn real facts and get my
escapism via DVDs.

BTW, Andy Garcia's "The Lost City" about pre/post Castro Havana
is quite good.
