On Her Majesty's Secret Service: James Bond 007 | Ian Fleming

Little Free Library find last night while walking Penny the dog. I already have copies of all but the tagged and might re-home two because I have those same editions even. But I couldn‘t resist grabbing them all. 😆

Bookwomble Nice find 😊 3mo

LeahBergen Cool! 3mo

Ruthiella @Bookwomble I know, right? 😃 3mo

Ruthiella @LeahBergen I love the cheesy covers! 3mo

Bookwomble I've collected the Pan editions where I can. I was surprised at the graphic violence in Casino Royale given its age. I haven't finished the series, yet, but I was impressed that Daniel Craig's interpretation seems to be the closest to Fleming's original. 3mo

dabbe Great haul! 🤩 3mo

Ruthiella @Bookwomble I‘ve not seen any of the newer films but I do remember the torture scene from Casino Royale, pretty brutal. 😱 3mo

Ruthiella @dabbe I got pretty lucky. 😃 3mo

AnnCrystal 📚👏🏼🥳👍🏼💝. 3mo

CarolynM Fab editions! 3mo

Ruthiella @AnnCrystal 🙏🙏🙏 3mo

Ruthiella @CarolynM They are pretty cool! 😅 3mo

Doctor No | Ian Fleming

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 5mo

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. 5mo

TheBookHippie @vivastory I think I have the book here 👀 5mo

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. 5mo

Larkken This would be a lot of fun 5mo

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. 5mo

Fr3NcHtOaSt I gotta do this at some point. I‘m a huge Bond fan 5mo

Branwen Okay, this sounds SUPER fun! 5mo

Reggie Sir, when you watch 28 years later please let me know because I have thoughts. lol 5mo

vivastory @Reggie Going to have to watch it soon! For some reason I haven't felt like going to the movies lately but I have watched a few vod movies lately (Notable: Final Destination Bloodline & Death of a Unicorn) 5mo

On Her Majesty's Secret Service: James Bond 007 | Ian Fleming

so-so

David Tennant is my favorite Doctor & one of my favorite actors, so I jumped at the chance to listen to him narrate. And who doesn't love James Bond?

Me. I don't love James Bond. Not as books - I enjoy the films as much as the next person. The books are dated & problematic in places, but that's understandable. IMO, the action scenes translate so much better to film, even with such a great narrator.

Moonraker: James Bond #3 | Ian Fleming

I recently read my first Fleming, which has an early opening scene in a casino.
Michael Mechanic's nf “Jackpot“ also has some memorable scenes in it regarding the excesses of the wealthy.

BookmarkTavern Cool to see another Bond book! Thanks for sharing! 1y

Liz_M other than ~waves hands around~ all this I've been okay. I'm looking forward to hearing about your reading when/if you post it! 9mo

Dr No: James Bond 007 | Ian Fleming

so-so

Ian Fleming, I'm pretty sure that women have never smelt like a combination of freshly mown hay and sweet pepper, I can not even imagine what that smells like. That's some imagination!

This book is of course filled with the usual racism and misogyny found in the previous books but that aside there's something compelling about these, the ridiculousness of the plot I guess is enough to keep me turning those pages.

Moonraker: James Bond #3 | Ian Fleming

so-so

There did seem to be far less problematic content in this entry compared to the first two books and it was great to see Bond blown out by a woman finally!

These books are a real eye opener for me, I was always under the impression that Bond was a super spy, intelligent, no one could fool Bond. However he comes across very ditzy to me, easily fooled and not particularly clever.

Pikathulhu The books definitely portray a very different Bond than the movies! 3y

Michellesibs @Pikathulhu I'm starting to realise the extent of this! So different x 3y
