Ooooh. I used to devour his books around the time of uni.

I also really enjoy the various settings in his stories, and the thrill. His first book I read was The Quiet American, right after Dispatches by Michael Herr (non-fiction about his time as a Vietnam War correspondent), which was a big motivator to study journalism, so of course I had to read more of his :)

Another really good spy thriller I read was I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes. Although I sometimes feel it's a bit heavy with the American imperialist perspectives.
