I was just trying to remember what mental image I had of James Bond before any of the movies were done and before I even heard of Sean Connery.
Before even the first Bond movie was released, I was remembering back as a high school freshman 45 yrs ago when my buddy told me about the Ian Fleming Bond novels, so I started reading Casino Royale and couldn't stop for the better part of a week until I read them all. I know it's not exactly War & Peace, but I loved those books and another good thing was that it helped enlighten me to the joys of reading books and I did need some enlightenment about that at the time.
