Are these books well-written/worth reading? I liked the movie quite a bit, and I'd like some books that capture that cold war paranoia.
Which one(s) should I start with?

I believe that he wrote The Spy who came from the Cold before TTSS, so tru that out, and if you like ot, read that.
TTSS is probably the greatest spy novel of all time, so yes. I've never heard a bad thing about Le Carré as far spy novels are concerned.

They're like the Dadrock of books, so no
I found a thread on goodreads where someone who is apparently a huge fan of the books was adamant that they should be read in the order they were published even though they all work as standalone stories.
Anybody who's read a few of them have thoughts on that?

The first and third (TTSS and Smiley's People) are. I'd skip Honourable Schoolboy until you know if you like le Carre or not.
