        Not OP but I’m on my 2nd read thru. They’re great, each book is stronger than the previous one. The audiobooks version has the best narrator I’ve heard in any book series (Jeff Hays) so if that’s your thing, do the listen.

        The story feels like the best of the shit that played on Adult Swim back in the aughts. Funny and gross and weirdly emotional throughout.

    Reading „Our Man in Havanna“ by Greene. It’s funny, in an interesting setting and I am really enjoying it. Has anybody read anything else by Greene?

      Ooooh. I used to devour his books around the time of uni.

      I also really enjoy the various settings in his stories, and the thrill. His first book I read was The Quiet American, right after Dispatches by Michael Herr (non-fiction about his time as a Vietnam War correspondent), which was a big motivator to study journalism, so of course I had to read more of his :)

      Another really good spy thriller I read was I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes. Although I sometimes feel it’s a bit heavy with the American imperialist perspectives.
