I just finished listening to LeCarre's Honorable Schoolboy. It was an abridged edition, but it really didn't strike my fancy. Probably because it was too intense to listen to without more concentration. Not sure what my audiobook will be, but I'm thinking about Michael Connelly's Lost Light.
I'm also reading the Stephanie Plum mystery, One for the Money. That's a long series that will provide a lot of books for me if they are good. This one is excellent and easy to read and fun. I wish they hadn't thown the bits of gratuitous crude or sexual references here and there (probably for mass market appeal), but other than that it's been a lot of fun. About a woman that basically becomes a bounty hunter to find criminals that skipped out on bail, and ends up chasing an old brief flame who was a detective that killed someone. This becomes her career out of necessity to have something to live on. It has certainly got me drawn into it all.
