Hello, John! John Le Carré is a favorite of mine. I highly recommend the third George Smiley book The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. It's very much a stand-alone novel. ✌️😃
Yes, that's a good one, I think it's my favorite of LeCarre's novels I've read. I remember staying up after midnight to finish reading it when I was sixteen and being totally shocked by the ending.
" I need to stop buying books and start reading books." That is what I tell myself all the time 😊🤣... in fact, I should get a T-shirt made with that on it! I like to justify it to myself as I'm building my home library....😂.. another great video. I hope you're doing great. Keep up the good work 👏 🙏🥳🎉
Thank you, and I hope you're doing great also. That would make a good shirt, actually. I read a lot, but I can't read them as fast as I buy them, that's for sure.
The thrift store where I get most my books is having a sale for a couple of weeks on hardback books 6 for $1.00. I exercised constraint & only got 6 yesterday, knowing the sale goes on for another week. Among mine were a Daphne duMaurier collection of horror tales including "The Birds" & some short stories, Joyce Carol Oates' "Gravedigger's Daughter", a Willa Cather collection of 3 novels & some stories, a Louis L'Amour collection of "Sackett" novels and a couple of YA horror/fantasy books. Like you, they went on my shelves for "one of these days". Great to hear from you again!
Six for a dollar? That's a great sale! Sounds like you picked up some great books, too. I've only read the short stories of Joyce Carol Oates, but I think I was too young to really connect with them. She edited the anthology American Gothic Tales, and that was fantastic. I like Willa Cather too, but I've only read two of her books so far, O Pioneers! and The Professor's House.
I've only read The Karla Trilogy and a couple others so far, but I've enjoyed them. A little bleak, but I think that was LeCarre's point. I read The Spy Who Came In From the Cold when I was sixteen and the ending has stayed with me all these years, I think that's still my favorite one.

Oh goodie, we love a good book haul!
Thanks for watching!
The spy novels by Le Carre are excellent.
I've only read The Karla Trilogy and a couple others so far, but I've enjoyed them. A little bleak, but I think that was LeCarre's point. I read The Spy Who Came In From the Cold when I was sixteen and the ending has stayed with me all these years, I think that's still my favorite one.
@@MustReadMore Yes... sparse and bleak, but more accurate to the spy world. It's not all glamour.
