Can't concentrate on anything else at the moment, so the spycraft reading continues. The first le Carre/George Smiley. I'm in.

New Patreon episode just dropped. We discuss many of the books pictured. And, it's audio so you can't see it but the cat stared at me the whole time we were recording.

Thank heavens for Penguin books. These green paper backs keep the older crime, thriller alive and in book books.
This is set in the 60s and 70s Britain. Kept me reading. Certainly a labyrinth of a story.

After reading some of Rossons‘s current work, I found that The Mercy of the Tide was atmospheric, impactful, and beautifully haunting. Imagine how sorrow and loss becomes a vortex of grief. And yet, the sudden tragedy is just a warning for a larger catastrophe. There is a string of connection with characters, though all are individuals. A short, but terrific, read.

This book is about the mass killings in Indonesia in 1965-66 and in other countries in the 20th century. There were so many details in this well researched book. I listened to the audio, so I‘m already planning to reread it and to research some of the topics in it, such as the Bandung Conference. #NonFiction
