I picked a book off one of my book shelves this morning, nothing unusual in that one might think, a very everyday sort of thing for many of you. But this book is special, why? I have failed to finish it twice since I bought it in an airport bookstore about 20 years ago. I read it for a week in between competitions in Germany, then put it down for a few years even though I was barely half way through it. The same happened a few years later. Is it a good book, a good read, what about the ending? I'll let you know if I finsh it this time. But what is the book you are screaming? Famous author, one of his best books according to the blurb - John Le Carre - A Perfect Spy. Do not tell me the ending!
