It has been many many years since I first read this. I think it's time to do it again.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
Still le Carré's best book. Worth to read it or reread it again.

Saw the teaser trailer for the new film adaption (starring Gary Oldham and Colin Firth) coming out later this year and was inspired to reread what some consider Le Carre's masterpiece. The book is slow, plodding, methodical, and is all the better because of these traits. Once you enter the event horizon you're pulled down a rabbit hole into the drab ordinariness that drives humans to commit evil.

A remarkable book. Le Carre writes exceedingly well.
Cons: A casual reader might find the narrative a bit confusing.
