I'm not familiar with his work. And right now I lack the money
to be able to buy books. I will make a note to check him out the
next time I'm at the library. Can you tell me more about him and
his series?

Indeed I can! I have only read a few but I can tell you that
they are spy novels ;D ; Smiley however is not your run of the
mill fictional spy - his is a psychological espionage where it
is the most quick witted and far sited spy that wins the day.
John le Carre himself worked [font=sans-serif]for both the
[/font]Security Service and the Secret Intelligence Service
until [font=sans-serif]1963 when his third novel [/font]The Spy
Who Came in from the Cold
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spy_Who_Came_in_from_the_Coldbecame<br
/>a best seller, at which point he left MI6 and became a full ti
me
author.
So there is a real feel of authentisity to the books and the
poiltics surrounding the Intelligence Service that makes them
really captivating to read.
Your library should have some if not most of his works - They
were and are very popular.
