John Le Carre is a miserable coot. I read a few of his books:
always misery and suffering and cruelty. Not a laugh in him.


too true too true.

Spy novels never were my favored genre either.

I do not like humor mixed in with drama. It ruins most of Shakespeare for
me. Either do one or the other, but NEVER leaven drama with humor. If you
can't take drama unleavened, then just read comic books like 12 year olds
do.
