Welcome to Litsy!

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!!

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.

1.A relative we barely know has come over to stay,at my parents',and I'm really worried because she's super careless about wearing a mask, and Covid precautions,and everything,so all I want for Christmas is for my parents to stay healthy!!
2.I stay in the tropics, so no chance of a white Christmas 😀I would like to see a White Christmas someday though!

Extraordinary writing

#20series20days @Andrew65 a long long time ago in a galaxy very close to where he still lives a teenage boy found a 2nd hand book shop where he would scour shelves and found these old pan books, he suspects they were lobbed by his mum when he went to uni (aargh). Anyway im sure they are not politically correct + may not bear rereading but they definitely formed part of my reading life. Gosh i hate thinking about all the books ive lost!!!

As recommended by Dr. No, Doctor Doom, C. A. Rotwang, Fu Manchu, Frank N. Furter, Dr. Moreau, Hank Scorpio, Adrian Veidt, Victor Frankenstein, Young Rossum, Eldon Tyrrell, Dr. Strangelove, etc.

"Morning, Armourer. Now I want to ask you some questions.‘ M.‘ s voice was casual.
‘First of all, what do you think of the Beretta, the .25?‘
‘Ladies‘ gun, sir.‘ M. raised ironic eyebrows at Bond.
Bond smiled thinly."

James Bond has to trade his beloved gun for a Walther PPK 7.65mm and save the world from Dr No who wants to #RuleTheWorld courtesy of help from the Russians. Tough break, Bond.

On this day in 1962 Dr. No launched the world-phenomena known as James Bond. For a long time Sean Connery was my favorite Bond but then came Daniel Craig. I know Bond is a sexist, womanizing jerk but he's still one of my favorite characters of all time - on paper or the silver screen.
