A long long time ago, my 7th grade teacher suggested I catalog the books I read. I quit after a few years and have regretted that decision ever since. It's never too late to start anew. I have a habit of grading books and do so here.

A Most Wanted Man, LeCarre B+
Yet another masterpiece from the the great spy novelist and former member of Britain's MI 6. This one is set in Hamburg, the city that was home to some of the 9/11 terrorists, and involves a young man just arrived there from Chechnya, via Russian and Turkish jails, a tramp steamer, Sweden, and Copenhagen. He is there to claim his late father's illicit funds on account with a less than blue chip Scottish bank. You never know if he is a victim or an evil doer as the Germans hover over him or even after the GWOT hoovers him up.
