I finished War & Peace last month then dived into John le Carre's Smiley books starting with his first "A Call for the Dead" and am now a few chapters into "The Honourable Schoolboy" the second after "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" in the Karla series. He's a wonderful writer & his actual experience in MI6 gives him a nice insight (the character George Smiley is based on le Carre's old boss there).
