Any James Bond fans out there? Okay, I have never seen a James Bond film nor read a novel (didn't know there was one). But I know the name--who doesn't? It is such a part of our culture. And on this date in 1953, Casino Royale by Ian Fleming was published. Do you want to know how I know Ian Fleming? I read the book Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (the 1960's movie of the same name was loosely based on this book). I had to look it up to make sure it was the same guy.
Anyway, we celebrate 60 years of James Bond today. I would love to hear any thoughts people have. Have you read James Bond novels or seen the films? Any recommendations?

How neat to be celebrating James Bond's anniversary in print! I wonder if my boys would watch the corresponding movie with me tonight to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to pick up one of those James Bond marathons on the TV, or better yet, Netflix, but there are a LOT of movies, and that is a LOT of time!
ReplyDeleteI love me some Sean Connery. What a hottie! I grew up in more of the Roger Moore era, but once I saw the Connery films. I definitely thought he was the best one.
ReplyDeleteI have never read a Ian Fleming novel either!
ReplyDeleteHey, that's pretty cool. I didn't know they were even books!!
ReplyDeleteAh? Now I feel like 007 marathon
