Reading a few books at the same time at the moment. Neil Gaiman's Stardust is one of them.

Re-reading, actually, Sean Connery, by Michael Feeney Callan (Stein and Day, 1983).

"Yes, he had read Fleming -- Live and Let Die, some years back. Yes, he thought the concept of a Bond series viable," page 113.

Ah yes, I think I read that one a while back. What do you think so far, Dell?

Valuable insights into Mr. Connery's approach and avoid relationship w/ playing the James Bond character. My initial attraction was after having read Mr. Broccoli's "autobiography," When the Snow Melts (Boxtree, 1998). I'm interested in any recommendations for a second Sean Connery biography you'd care to make.



Also eager to hear what you think of The Pinewood Story after you complete it.

Since my last Post, I'm now reading Ian Fleming: The Man Behind James Bond (Turner Publishing, Inc., 1995), by Andrew Lycett. As w/ my other important studies, I'm interested in getting another dimension on the perspectives shared in The Life of Ian Fleming (McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1966), by John Pearson ... w/ the likely support of Anne Fleming.

The authorised biography of James Bond, by John Pearson. Very entertaining stuff.

Afraid I haven't gotten around to too many of the Connery biographies lately--but I'm always up for a new one. Will definitely let you know about The Pinewood Story.

I did that a few years ago and read all of Jules Verne's output. Mysterious Island is a great read for all ages.

Bill Bryson - Down Under


It's quite funny so far.

FROM HELL by Alan Moore

Verne is on my list, never finished any of his as a child. Thanks for the advice, i'll start with Mysterious Island

Just finished Northern Lights (The Golden Compass) by Philipp Pullman. Well, it was OK, but a little more on the "children literature" side than I thought initially.

Now, I'm beginning The Moneypenny Diaries: Guardian Angel Too bad, I didn't find an eBook of this title...

[Kilroy6644]

Just finished Ken Follett's World Without End. Excellent book. On reflection, I'd probably have to give Pillars the edge, but this is definitely a worthy sequel.

I'm about to start Robin Moore's The Green Berets.

[minder125]

About to plow through three westerns one longarm, a gunsmith, and a Max Brand

I'm re-reading Casino Royale. After I finished reading all the Ian Fleming novels, Thrilling Cities and Amis's treatise, I started reading Colonel Sun. It didn't grab me so much, so I closed it without finishing it, and decided to re-read Fleming's works.

[MkB]

Still readinf The Moneypenny diaries: Guardian angel, and it appears to be a very good and enjoyable book! I'll post a review in the appropriate thread some day, but I'd like to recommend it to all CBners!

[Qwerty]

Roger Moore: His Films and Career by Gareth Owen and Oliver Bayan is one of the books I'm currently on.

[Sbott]

Just started Frankenstein - Mary Shelley, a fantastic book so far that eclipses all the film versions i've seen (well may not the Abbott and Costello one)

[Agent 76]

This one. Going for the third short story : "Quantum of Solace"

Managed not to finish this one as I left it on a plane somewhere... need to find another copy pronto!

[Vauxhall]

"The Kite Runner" (Khaled Hosseini) - Fantastically written with some beautiful imagery, yet really demonstrates the sad and turbulent times which have fallen upon Afghanistan. I'm now eager to go and see the movie.
