I watched two movies on the weekend. One is The Courier, a story about a British businessman, Wynne, who was hired by MI6 and contacted a Soviet double agent, Oleg Penkovsky. I was confused about Oleg Penkovsky and Oleg Gordievsky, so I misunderstood the film's difference from the original story. Penkovsky was executed; Gordievsky succeeded in escaping to the UK. I learned about Gordievsky from "The Spy and the Traitor: The Greatest Espionage Story of the Cold War" by Ben Macintyre. Another movie is Operation Mincemeat. Ben Macintyre is a superb writer.

A friend of mine's friend's friend is Jack Ryan. Tom Clancy wrote novels, modeling him. I have only read Ben Macintyre's book, but I'd love to read his other books. I can fully understand that he is a New York Times Bestseller writer. His book is exciting.

2. The correct phrase is “modeled after”. It means that something (in this case, the novels) was designed to resemble something else (in this case, Jack Ryan).
3. While both “writer” and “author” can refer to someone who writes books, “author” is more commonly used when referring to someone who has written and published a book.
Two years ago, I tried to read several Tom Clancy nonfiction books, "Submarine" and "Marine," but I couldn't due to a lack of vocabulary. The other day, I looked at one of them and realized I could read Tom Clancy's books already. I want to read his novels someday soon. Now, I only have a little time to do that because of another priority: expanding vocabulary in an area. By the way, a younger actress, around 40 years old, should have starred in Operation Mincemeat. The actors and actresses are somehow around twenty years older than the actual characters.
Two years ago, I tried to read several of Tom Clancy’s nonfiction books, “Submarine” and “Marine,” but I couldn’t due to a lack of vocabulary. The other day, I looked at one of them and realized I could already read Tom Clancy’s books. I want to read his novels someday soon. Now, I only have a little time to do that because of another priority: expanding my vocabulary in a certain area. By the way, a younger actress, around 40 years old, should have starred in Operation Mincemeat. The actors and actresses are somehow around twenty years older than the actual characters.
2. The adverb “already” is usually placed before the main verb, in this case “read”, for clarity and readability.
3. The possessive pronoun “my” is added to make it clear whose vocabulary is being expanded.
4. “an area” is changed to “a certain area” to make it more specific.

2. “Contacted” is a transitive verb that requires a direct object. However, in this context, “made contact with” is a more appropriate phrase to use.
3. “Confused about” is used when you’re unsure or unclear about one thing. When you’re unsure about the difference between two things, “confused between” is the correct phrase to use.
4. “Difference from” is used when comparing two things. However, when you’re talking about how one thing differs or deviates from another, “deviation from” is the correct phrase to use.
5. This way, the sentence sounds much more natural and understandable. “The other movie was Operation Mincemeat” is more appropriate here because you’re talking about something that happened in the past.
