[Vor Lady]

Here Here!! I started reading Ian Flemming when I was 9 or 10. Probably warped me for life. I saw Thunderball at age 8. The school librarian was horrified when I asked her for the books. I had to wait until I could get a card at the public library.... The movies just aren't as good.

[bigsigh]

As I recall my friend's mother was a member of the book-of-the-month club and Fleming was putoing out 1 a year in the late 60s. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.

I remember Flemings last, I think it was Colonel Son which was carried in Playboy. I even read the John Gardner ones in the 90s.

PS have you seen the Casino Royale with Barry Nelson and Peter Lorre. It's an old 50s american TV drama. Very simple, but interesting.
