I'm reading Joseph Conrad's "The Secret Agent." The MC in one of my novels reads that when he is twelve and hoping to someday become a spy. I had to choose a spy novel that had been published at that time (1952) and I want to know the work well enough to learn his youthful reading might have influenced his later life. It's an old writing style, but I'm really enjoying it.
