Just received, and quickly re-read, Tinker Tailor.. by John Le Carre, from the Folio Society. It has probably been 25 years since I first read it - it's still wonderful. My favorite spy book of all time. Of course, I can only visualize the characters in terms of the BBC series, which starred Alec Guiness as Smiley. Wonder if that's available in DVD somewhere...have to go check....AHA! (see lower left). Wonderful book about betrayal with highly memorable characters!
