Ian Lancaster Fleming was born on May 28, 1908, 105 years ago today. 

 

He shared that date with Ernst Stavro Blofeld.  Coincidence perhaps?  Nah.

 

RIP, ILF.  And thank you.

May his books still be read 105 years from now!

Let's not forget it's also the fifth anniversary of Devil May Care. Coincidence perhaps? Nah.

Time sure flies...
