Condor Thriller(s)

 I love a good spy thriller, as you know, and I try to read all of the classics of the genre and watch them when there are any available. I watched Three Days of the Condor a few times, I even read James Grady's Six Days of the Condor. Great author to read, by the way, I suggest you see his other works (I haven't many of them, but still), not only the one that made him famous. Anyway, I recently learned that, like many iconic stories, this one got readapted in 2018, a TV series simply titled Condor. There's too many of them these days, on too many streaming services, it's hard to keep track, so I had no idea it even existed. I guess I will have to check if I can see it somewhere. If you have seen it, please leave a comment. In the meantime, I recommend the original novel. You might also find interesting that Grady wrote a sort of sequel to it, condor.net, setpost 9/11, with a new protagonist with the same codename.

Le condor

 Il y a environ un mois, nous sommes allés à une foire agricole, où nous avons vu entre autres une exhibiton d'oiseaux. Ceux de Millets Falconry. Dont ce condor. Je suis toujours un peu étonné quand je vois un condor en chair, en os et en plumes, parce que je le trouve toujours un peu moche. Une laideur sympathique qui me surprend un peu, parce que je l'imagine comme le Grand Condor (en or) d'une certaine émission de mon enfance. Tu regardes l'oiseau et on dirait plus une dinde qu'un rapace. Mais bon, je ne veux pas en dire du mal, comme je dis il a une laideur sympathique.
