Our Man In Havana

 Written in 1959 by Graham Greene, Our Man In Havana is classic literature about espionage or perhaps, lack of espionage. The story revolves around a vacuum cleaner store owner in Havana named Wormwood. London's M16 recruits him, against his will, to spy and send information back to London in a code based on a book called Tales from Shakespeare by Lamb. Wormwood has a daughter whom he adores. She is 16 and has expensive tastes. She really wants a horse for her 17th birthday so Wormwood starts making fictitious reports. One thing leads to another and the whole situation becomes satirical and hilarious. I never thought I would enjoy a book about espionage as much as I enjoyed this one.
