The Ipcress File by Len Deighton
4.0

After a few false starts, I finally vibed with this book. The style involved a lot of Chekhovian instances where the reader actually had to work to understand from the description why the narrator was drawing certain conclusions or taking certain actions. Fun to experience this in a spy novel rather than a social drama.
