For the past week or so, I started reading Ian Fleming's James Bond books in the order of publication. I was motivated into doing so by a friend in New Zealand.
Last week, I read Casino Royale and I am now almost finished with Live and Let Die. The next will be Moonraker.
Years ago I bought almost all of Fleming's 007 novels at a used bookstore. I read From Russia With Love and Dr. No immediately thereafter. Since then they've sat on my bookcase.
In case you're wondering what publishing order the Fleming novels were brought to the public, here's the list:
Casino Royale (1953)
Live And Let Die (1954)
Moonraker (1955)
Diamonds Are Forever (1956)
From Russia With Love (1957)
Doctor No (1958)
Goldfinger (1959)
For Your Eyes Only (1960)
Thunderball (1961)
The Spy Who Loved Me (1962)
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1963)
You Only Live Twice (1964)
The Man With The Golden Gun (1965)
Octopussy And The Living Daylights (1966)
