Some Good Autumn Reading

We've all seen the movies...ever read the books? I haven't, so a trip to eBay provided me with some good reading material for the next few months. Should be a lot of fun. Only way to read Bond novels is with a Rolex on my wrist sipping a dry martini with a slice of lemon

Have read them many times. You will be surprised at how well written they were.

I've read most of them. They're better than the movies in most cases.

I was going to do this last summer but then they killed Jon Snow and I read all the Game of Thrones novels instead.
