Reading the Ian Fleming books...

[tstone]

I've read them MANY years ago, most of them. But I was organizing my to read list this year, as my goal is to make it through 80 books this year. Among my books I haven't read yet, I found a vintage copy of Moonraker. It's a good time to be a Bond fan, and since I haven't read all the books, or any of them in a very long time, there's only 13 of them and they are quick reads, I'm going through them again. Just ordered a copy of Casino Royale...

[WhiteKnight]

Good call. My personal favorite is FRWL. Moonraker is also very good. Much better than the trainwreck of a film. There are some I haven't been through in a long time, so maybe I can pick them up again and compare notes with you. Just let me know when you're starting on one.

No problem. I expect to begin Casino Royale in about a month. I want to get current on the Honor Harrington series first.

Make sure you read the books in order, or else it get's all kinds of confusing with Leiter suddenly re-growing limbs and something called a Spectre making no sense at all !

I highly recommend reading OHMSS. It's my favorite book, and it might make you a fan of the film (if you aren't already).

OHMSS is one of those I read a long time ago (remembered enjoying it) and we WILL get to it again. DCD is right that we need to take them in order, though.

[WhiteKnight]

I'll agree it helps, but somehow I don't think it's gospel that you've got to do it that way. Sill, I'm just along for the ride and will go along with either decision.

[tstone]

In March, we begin...Casino Royale...unless anyone else has another preference...

[WhiteKnight]

Works for me.

Just to appease my general curiosity, is anyone else is tagging along?

[tstone]

So far, it's just you and me, unless Leiter and DCD are coming along for the ride.
