I found them all very readable and I think I'd have a hard time ranking which one is easier to read than the other. Instead (especially since I meant to rank them all after I finished the last novel and short story collection months ago but forgot),…

I've got my patented "it's not Friday I don't care and neither do you" excuse in hand. Let's go. 2006-2021. Thank you, ladies, for making it an era worthy of staying in our collective memory for a long time to come.

Oh, and I forgot to update the meter when I read both Fleming's TSWLM and TMWGG. So here: Casino Royale: 0 Live And Let Die: 1 Moonraker: 0 Diamonds Are Forever: 0 From Russia With Love: 0 Doctor No: 0 Goldfinger: 1 For Your Eyes Only: 0 …

Well, I finished The Man With The Golden Gun. It was pretty damn good. I think it's my least favorite of the Fleming books so far, but that's just compared to the others. It's most noticeably unfinished in the middle where it sags a little bit with …

I haven't posted my ranking in... too, too long. I'm pretty sure the last time I did was before NTTD came out. 😂 Well! Let's remedy that, hmm? NTTD is now ranked, and DN and GF swapped places. Otherwise unchanged. CR is still the gold standard, and…

I love those redheads, man!

Dr. No was the most "edge of my seat" of all the Fleming novels for me. It was a blast to read. Ranked at #2 for me, though that might perhaps change someday, meaning, go higher. It's an utterly phenomenal book.

Jordo, thanks for keeping 'onatopp' of when Fridays come. The week seemed to have breezed by and here we are already! Okay... 👏 Let's get to it! Friiiiiday is myyyyyy day...

I'm glad there are other fans who see TSWLM for the great book that it is. Now, I must say that, despite my glowing words for it, TSWLM will still sit right around the middle of my ranking of all the Fleming books. It doesn't come close to approachi…

Double-posting again. Oh well! Read more, post more in this thread, dammit! Anyway, I finished The Spy Who Loved Me late last night at work. I just want to say one thing to start with, and that is that ALMOST EVERY NEGATIVE THING I'VE EVER HEARD …

And now I've finished Goldfinger. Casino Royale: 0 Live And Let Die: 1 Moonraker: 0 Diamonds Are Forever: 0 From Russia With Love: 0 Doctor No: 0 Goldfinger: 1 +1 For Your Eyes Only: 0 Thunderball: 0 The Spy Who Loved Me: 0 On Her Majes…

Mars Attacks, underrated, completely insane film and it's all the more entertaining for it. I have never liked Mrs. Doubtfire. Meh at best.

I was awake all night. I work all night long during the week and sleep during the day. Though Saturdays and Sundays are my days off, I still keep the same sleeping schedule. So I'm about to go to bed here soon. Then I have to go to work tonight, and…

Watched three Bond movies early this morning, the first time I watched any Bond films in close to two years! I watched Thunderball, The Living Daylights and No Time To Die (also the first time I'd watched NTTD since it was released in theaters). Why…

😍 Indeed. But on the topic of Eva: Oh. Yeah.
-
Oh, absolutely The Untouchables. Partly because it's a far better film, partly because I think Connery is better in it.
