#chatterday @AllDebooks

It‘s dangerously hot in WI so I took a walk early then we‘ve mostly been inside, napping, reading, playing cards and up next - a movie. I sometimes enjoy a down low day.

I must admit, once I learned the plot outlines, I considered the initial parts of the novel fun but more ridiculous than the James Bond movies.

But as the novel progressed, and especially at the climax, Trevanian (pen name of Rodney Whitaker) surprised me, imbuing the story with a pathos and grittiness I didn't expect. Some plot and character contrivances aside, it still is a spy novel worthy of a slow weekend's worth of time.

Recommended.

My tiny house wren chirped at a rapid high volume when I sat on the porch with my book and coffee. Mom flew out of her birdhouse but I think they are getting use to my quiet presence- Mom is back & dad‘s chirp is now normal.

There is a wonderful cool breeze today which I want to enjoy out here because extremely hot humid weather is coming. #porchlife #birdsong

An interesting experiment: read the original Fleming, watch the adaptation starring Connery and then read the P Everett update, and post about your experience!!
Calling the bravest Littens for an arbitrary experiment!!

TheBookHippie Oooooo 3d
vivastory @TheBookHippie I think that you can do it! I'd love to see your feedback 😄

TieDyeDude That sounds like fun! I've never read any of the Fleming novels. I'd be down. 3d

TheBookHippie @vivastory I think I have the book here 👀 3d
Ruthiella I‘ve already done all three, though not back to back. Dr. No is IMO the movie that most closely resembles the books, though I stopped watching the movies in the‘90s. 3d
Larkken This would be a lot of fun 3d
CarolynM I agree with @Ruthiella that the film is close to the book. From Russia With Love is pretty close too. I‘m not usually keen on updates, I‘ll be interested to see what you think. 3d
Fr3NcHtOaSt I gotta do this at some point. I‘m a huge Bond fan 2d
Branwen Okay, this sounds SUPER fun! 15h
