If it makes you feel better, I suspect we have similar personalities and general interest, and I tried all those things a couple times and hated them. I would much rather stay home and read than go to party so that's what I do usually. Maybe it's because I have so little in common with my friends who I only connected with through drugs in HS and sort of keep in contact with because I can't make new ones.
Write what's on your mind
I am reading LeCarre, A Legacy of Spies.
It revisits The Spy Who Came In From the Cold, the moral shadiness of the op. After 50 years, the chickens have come home to roost. It's good stuff. A clever premise, very nicely developed.
I'm halfway through, but the story has so much juice and momentum I feel like LeCarre is a champion. I'm hoping the book sticks the landing. We shall see.
PS: I had a hardback copy of The Secret Pilgrim laying around for ages. The cover art gave me the impression it would be a boring book. Tbqh, I stumbled on a synopsis of the book in Wikipedia that intrigued me, because I didn't know Smiley was part of the story. Anywho, I read it and it was rather good. B+. But the book never developed as much momentum and narrative interest as Legacy of Spies has halfway through.
PPS: I've started to read The Tailor of Panama. The first 60-odd pages were rather brilliant, but then there was a falling off in momentum. I hope it picks up again. Now what led me to ToP was read - or really mostly skimming - LeCarre's memoir. He has a chapter on the real-life tailor that inspired the book; and one about the person who inspired the creation of Alec Leamas; and also has some interesting things to say about the making of the Swciftc film. And a nice chapter about Alec Guinness.
