The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
John Le Carré
@M4thD4d It’s much more literary and subtle than most spy thrillers, but I consider it to be a masterpiece, and it’s a very lean, compact novel: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold by the late, great John Le Carré.

Six of Crows
Leigh Bardugo
I’m reading Six of Crows, which I’m enjoying. However, Bardugo continues the unwelcome trend perpetrated by too many modern sf/fantasy writers of repeatedly using any & all characters’ Spock-like single raised eyebrow as an expression. It’s a lazy tool & I wish folks would stop.

Black Leopard, Red Wolf
Marlon James
@humanhouseplant It’s brutal — and divisive because of the brutality — but I LOVED the fever-dream poetic lusciousness of Black Leopard, Red Wolf by the openly gay Black author Marlon James.
