I've been reading some Graham Greene novels lately - not entirely sure why - seems I acquired some titles years ago when they were deeply discounted - and found them lurking in my TBR pile. So I decided to give them a try.
I bogged down quickly in Orient Express, and then jumped to The Quiet American, and made it through The End of the Affair. Greene creates very repulsive, non-sympathetic, but very human protagonists that you don't really care about, but whose actions draw you in to see how badly they screw up their lives and how badly they injure their family and friends.
