Loving it! The writing reminds me a little of Oscar & Lucinda <3

Pulsars, Jocelyn Bell Burnell and the sad reality of the Nobel Prize.

". . .as if at that moment I had realized that only the checking of the meteorological instruments enabled me to master the forces of the universe and recognize an order in it."

That ending, and oh my heart.

'''He told me his father died of an overdose of intelligence,' Barley replied.''

''The world is going to be a better place, Barley assures Zapadny, as if he were an expert on the world.''

Constant reminder of why I love le Carré as much as I do.

SO FREAKIN' EXCITED!

WHY IS IT SO GOOOOOD!? I am already dreading finishing it. :'(

The second pig is out to muss things up, it seems.

This was just fantastic. Can't wait for the next one!

It reads so much like John le Carre and other fiction that I am left wondering - is it true that what we read about spies in fiction actually is not the reality at all, 'cause it sure has hell feels like it. This book, my gods.

Dear quiet, amazing Anne. Persuasion seems to be slowly turning into my favourite Austen, though Pride and Prejudice still remains a strong contender. Possibly because while I sort of see myself in Anne, I much want to be like good old Lizzie.

Some of it is reaaaallly good, while some of the others are just meh. I still have some really great authors to go. :D

I am not too big on flashbacks interrupting the main storyline, but this particular flashback is actually turning out to be better!
