nooo donât apologize, iâm so glad you enjoyed it! it was definitely one of my faves too and really keeps you hooked! i think i liked it even more in retrospect once i really understood what Le Carre was trying to do with it, the first time through i was expecting something closer to a James Bond-ish spy thriller and that is definitely not something Le Carre is going to give you đ

The Looking Glass War (George Smiley, #4)
John le Carré
John le Carré's classic novels deftly navigate readers through the intricate shadow worlds of international espionage with unsurpassed skill and knowledge, and have earned him unprecedented worldwide acclaim. THE LOOKING GLASS WAR Once upon a time the distinction had been the Circus handled all things political while the Department dealt with matters military. But over the years, power shifted and the Circus elbowed the Department out. Now, suddenly, the Department has a job on its hands. Evidence suggests Soviet missiles are being positioned close to the German border. Vital film is missing and a courier is dead. Lacking active agents, but possessed of an outdated mandate to proceed, the Department has to find an old hand to prove its mettle. Fred Leiser, German-speaking Pole turned Englishman -- once a qualified radio operator, now involved in the motor trade -- must be called back to the colors and sent East....

oh good to know! i skipped this one on my original read through because i was hungry for more spy stuff hahah, but iâll definitely have to come back and read it, iâve heard a lot of good things about it! i really enjoyed the later ones that iâve read so far, TTSS is long and complicated and you have to pay attention but itâs a beautifully constructed and thoughtful story, i really enjoyed reading it even when i wasnât 100% sure what was going on! Iâm also really liking The Looking Glass War so far, that one seems to be a bit controversial but iâd say itâs one of the best Le Carre novels iâve read so far, itâs easier to follow and the character work is incredible. and of course The Spy Who Came in From The Cold is amazing :))

Call for the Dead (George Smiley, #1)
John le Carré
John le Carré classic novels deftly navigate readers through the intricate shadow worlds of international espionage with unsurpassed skill and knowledge, and have earned him -- and his hero, British Secret Service Agent George Smiley, who is introduced in this, his first novel -- unprecedented worldwide acclaim. George smiley had liked Samuel Fennan, and now Fennan was dead from an apparent suicide. But why? Fennan, a Foreign Office man, had been under investigation for alleged Communist Party activities, but Smiley had made it clear that the investigation -- little more than a routine security check -- was over and that the file on Fennan could be closed. The very next day, Fennan was found dead with a note by his body saying his career was finished and he couldn't go on. Smiley was puzzled...

The jump scare of that family tree on the first page just about made me put the book down. I tried for like five minutes to figure it out and decided that itâs too late for that nonsense. After getting past that, Iâm happy I chose to read a little tonight. Why is this kind of funny? Four hundred and ten pages to go đ«Ą
