It's not often I get a two-day weekend, but my Saturday class was canceled because the high-school students have tests next week. I did my best to enjoy my extra time.

My money's on Paul for this year's Booker Prize. 😁

The last 3 books I finished were:

• Red Square by Martin Cruz Smith
• The Foreign Correspondent by Alan Furst
• The Constant Gardener by John le Carré

If that isn't a literary hat trick I don't know what is. It's a trifecta of intrigue, prose, and character on a level seldom seen in any genre.

Definitely agree on The Little Drummer Girl by John le Carré! One of the best characters in all of English literature. Charlie's motivation and what she goes through is gripping.

To this list, I'll add Angels of Russia by Patricia le Roy.
