Probably not. Trying not to buy any more books at the moment (though I know there will be at least three I will HAVE to get this year), so am trying to find stuff that I already have. There is a TBR pile, plus my Tom Sharpe’s are probably do for a reread, and I got about half-way through a Stephen King reread last year . . .
Which Stephen King? I've still been making a point of going through all his books, I own most of them and have enjoyed the seven or eight I've read in the past few years.
I know the feeling. I just got done with The Godfather series. I'm alternating between different authors and series at the moment. However, James Bond is my top pick if I don't know where to go.
If you love a good laugh and have not read any Tom Sharpe, then I suggest you seek him out.
I though it was better than the movie. The backstories would helped the movie be better, and feel more unique.
Yes, and in an interview author Raymond Benson confirmed that he came up with that background of Carver and Lord Roverman etc. all by himself. It wasn't part of the film scripts that he based the novelisation on.
I agree that such background adds immensely to the TND story and is more Flemingesque in nature than what we ended up with in the film. The two, films and books, are very different mediums of course and action-centric films like TND have less time to go into any backstory than the added space that a novelisation affords.

Already done with the first chapter, man.
A Study in Scarlet is high on my list to read. Thanks for reminding me.
I am thinking of hiring one. Are you interested?
I'm already his chauffeur. The pay isn't bad.

I do not buttle for warlocks. Plus I charge more than Dragonpol.
Interesting. Why were they rejected?
Well, he wanted DC to play the villain that shoots PB's Bond in CR.
PB's Bond was to be magically resurrected in B25 so he could finally get his revenge.
A bit too much one would say.

Slightly.
Skewered.
Rather appropriate given the current state of the nation.
