Well good luck reading all of them! I sorta have the same methods as you as well.

I'm also re-reading the series in order.

I've finished the first three. The first time I read them (out of order) DAF was one of my least favorites, so I'm a little bit dreading getting into it. Perhaps it will surprise me.

I agree with your assessment of CR. It's fine but LALD and MR just blow it away.

Well, right now I'm reading ICEBREAKER. Since the title has to do with "cool", I'm reading it in my air-conditioned living room, hopefully with no interruptions.

Something to look forward to. :)

As I've mentioned above, I haven't read these books in 30 years so I'm not expecting to remember too much (if anything) at all, and so far Casino Royale is reading like I've never read it before - I don't remember a thing.

This is good as I can virtually read all the Flemings as if it's for the first time.
