“Changing an organization, a company, a country—or a world—begins with the simple step of changing yourself.”

“One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.”

“There is a powerful driving force inside every human being that, once unleashed, can make any vision, dream, or desire a reality.”

“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.”

I didn’t make a conscious decision, I just knew I had to do something.”

Famous Fictional Captains

Here’s a quick look at two adventurous ship Captain straight from the pages of fiction.

Captain Ahab. Brought to life by Herman Miller in his 1851 classic Moby Dick, Ahab captained the whaling ship Pequod as it sailed on a voyage for revenge in search of the elusive white whale. In a previous journey, Ahab lost his leg to Moby Dick and wore a prosthetic made of whale bone. Blinded by his hatred and thirst for vengeance, Ahab’s reckless abandonment of any and all caution seal his rather unfortunate fate. The character has been immortalized in popular culture and has even served as inspiration for other notable characters, such as J. M. Barrie’s Captain Hook.

Captain Nemo. A creation of Jules Verne, Captain Nemo (also known as Prince Dakkar) made his first appearance in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870) and then again in The Mysterious Island (1874). Verne used the character a third time in his 1882 play Journey Through the Impossible, although it was merely a brief cameo. Since his initial publications, Captain Nemo has appeared in multiple adaptations of Verne’s novels, but he’s also been borrowed by other authors in their own works, like Alan Moore’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Philip José Farmer’s The Other Log of Phileas Fogg. The mysterious captain of The Nautilus, a submarine that roams the depths of the sea, Nemo is a scientific genius fuelled by vengeance and hatred of imperialism.

Action Novels that are Well Worth Reading

With so many titles to choose from in the world of action and adventure literature, it may be difficult to choose your next read. Here are three action novels that are well worth reading, and would make great choices for your next book.

First Blood by David Morrell. If the title sounds familiar that’s because you may have seen it at the cinema. Yes, David Morrell’s first novel, First Blood, served as the basis for Rambo: First Blood. Although the screenplay went through a decade or revisions before finally making it to the screen, the novel is still every bit as action packed as the movie and well worth the read.

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. Although often filled with more biting social commentary than traditional action, Fight Club is nonetheless action packed in its own way. Adapted into a hugely successful movie featuring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton among other notable stars, Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club originated in novel form and is every bit as gripping and compelling as the movie, if not more.

Crucible: A Thriller by James Rollins. The latests release in his Sigma Force series, James Rollins (the pen name of author and veterinarian James Paul Czajkowski) shows exactly why he’s a dominant force in the world of action/adventure literature with the continuation of his Sigma Force storyline.

Fun Facts About Fight Club

A fan favorite that enjoys enduring success to this very day, Fight Club was a masterpiece of a film with a continued cult following. Here are three interesting facts about the film that you may or may not have known.

It started as a novel. Despite a drastically different ending, Fight Club manages to stay true to the plot, themes, and progression of Chuck Palahniuk’s debut novel of the same name. The all-star cast including Brad Pitt and Ed Norton seem perfectly suited to the characters they play, and the movie (much like the novel) is nothing short of a non-stop thrill from start to finish.

Even the wardrobe was R-rated. The MPAA was rather tough on Fight Club, and as a result many scenes were cut from the movie in order for it to maintain an R-rating. That said, the MPAA may have missed a ince detail in Brad Pitt’s wardrobe, as the tank top he wears in one of the pivotal final scenes is actually made up of various pornographic images. Oops.

The movie is absolutely full of Easter eggs. It may take the most perceptive of fans to notice them, but Fight Club is full of amusing Easter eggs. For example, one scene in the movie is filmed in front of a marquee for the movie Seven Years in Tibet, which of course, stars Brad Pitt. The movie is well worth another watch for those willing to try and spot some more…
