RIP: John Le Carre

[Lucky Jones]

Man, this year sucks. "The Spy Who Came In From The Cold" is a fave. Gonna go dig through my library and start rereading it again tonight.

O damn. LeCarre is one of the best espionage authors to have ever written a novel.

The AMC 3 part, 6hr "Little Drummer Girl" was really amazing to watch.

RIP to the legend. Some of his works translated well to the big and small screens. The Tailor of Panama, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and The Constant Gardener.

He left us some good stories! I like spy novels, mysteries, that sort of thing. Have read a few of his and really liked them--but man, you need to pay attention! I'm currently reading Ian Fleming's 007 series, so folding Le Carre back into rotation should be easy.

Read him (quite) a bit, when I was interested (and there were no forums to drop "a dice", where people apparently practice English )

Important. :rip
