He drinks odd concoctions like a Bijou and the Moscow Mule.<br /><br />I tried to read <i>Casino Royale</i> three times. Once when I was teenager when I found a stash of Bond books in my oldest brother's bedroom after he got married and left our home. I never finished it. Thought it boring. I tried again when I was in my 20s still thought it boring. And the last time only a few years ago. To date I have never finished it and I don't think it's worth trying a fourth time. BUT! That movie with Daniel Craig was the best Bond movie in a long, long time. It still is one of my favorite thrillers in recent memory.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392929615278863767.post-70581680521711568712012-01-15T17:42:50.718-06:002012-01-15T17:42:50.718-06:00It's been a long time since I read this one......It's been a long time since I read this one...about 25 years or so, I think. I need to read a Bond book for one of my challenges. I haven't decided if I want to refresh my memory on this one or read From Russia With Love.<br /><br />Great entry for the Vintage challenge!Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.com
