My book haul from our trip. Two were from the bookstore we visited and the rest were from the stores inside the various museums we visited. I may have gone overboard. But no regrets 😅

Dreamscape has been releasing new audio versions of le Carre‘s work narrated by Simon Vance and they are wonderful. I‘m a huge fan of both le Carre and Simon Vance, so this was a comfort reread/listen for me. TSWCIFTC is the quintessential Cold War spy novel and it‘s the book that cemented le Carre as the master of the genre.

DGRachel I also recommend the 1965 film version with Richard Burton. Burton makes a perfect Alec Leamas. (Rupert Davies isn‘t my favorite onscreen Smiley, but Smiley has a tiny roll in the book. Alec Guinness, on the other hand, makes a brilliant George Smiley). 4d

On Friday, I started two different books and couldn‘t stick with either. I binged the first season and a half of Slow Horses on Apple TV yesterday, started another book that I just can‘t stick with earlier today and am switching over to the tagged book that‘s been on my shelves for YEARS. I probably should wait until I finish all four seasons of the TV show, but I‘m hoping for a book I can‘t put down. 🤞🏻
