RIP John Le Carré & George Smiley

Never read his books, but always love the move adaptations - always enjoyed showing spycraft as the messy job that it is.

I've read a few of his books, like others, mostly saw the movies...dang it, now have to find some to read......OP if you like spy books, look up David Morrell, the author of First Blood (Rambo), he has several spy books, and they are great, My favorite is "The spy who came for Christmas"

I'll admit, I don't read much. I've got books I've been reading for years. (I know, I know).

John Le Carré must have had about a dozen novels that became movies.


Both versions of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy are worth watching.
