It's been so long, I can't remember! I do remember really liking Walter, though, and I remember being really frustrated at alternate!Olivia during the parallel universe arc. I don't think I finished Season 3, mumble grumble.
You've been formally studying Chinese longer than I have, then. I (re)started in freshman year of college and have mostly been getting by with a heap-load of Pleco. Tangentially, I took a look at your Twitter and saw your thread on moralizing textbooks -- I was going to say "oh, that's really interesting but not unexpected, though my textbooks haven't really been like that" and then I remembered that just this semester there was a chapter on "OMG porn websites are destroying society! Think of the children!" (and wow, isn't that relevant right now). I facepalmed the whole time while reading that one. Too bad my classmates didn't similarly appreciate the ridiculousness.
I will let you know what I think about le Carre. I've been in a reading rut for too long, hopefully reading something new and fun will get me reading Actual Books again.
Anyway, Twitter is mysterious to me, I use it mostly for art-related things. Might take you up on DMs here or on Discord though! (I'm not very interesting at the moment; swamped with finals and all that.)
