Both of which took a bit of a backseat to James Bond - naturally.įleming writes in a way that is easily captivating. When I picked up Casino Royale I was currently reading Hank Greenberg: Hero of Heroes and John Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley. It should be noted that I have a bad habit of starting multiple books at once. So I called my local Half Price Books, and they had a copy I went that night to pick it up. I can hear you now, why wouldn’t you start with the first book in a series? Trust me, there are some maniacs who don’t. I always try to start with the first book an author wrote, especially in a series - which I know may be the most obvious thing to people. Naturally I started with the first book, Casino Royale, because I’m kind of O.C.D. However, I would soon learn that this was not the James Bond of Fleming’s books.
That notion was the man I had seen portrayed as James Bond on the silver screen of Hollywood. When I first decided to read Ian Fleming’s James Bond series, I came to it with a preconceived notion.
