Books - What are you reading?

The Spy who came in from the Cold is such a huge step up from the first two. If you're not impressed by those two (I see them as really just of historical interest), at least try that one before chucking it in. Not trying to rain on @Jingle_Jangle 's parade, but some authors stun with their first novel and others take a while to get into their stride. Le Carre was definitely in the second category, but when he found his style boy did he pump out a series of bangers. The first two books could have been written by a differen person.
