The reboot of the James Bond franchise in Casino Royale was one of Hollywood’s pleasant surprises last year. I left the movie with an appreciation for the character that I hadn’t previously possessed and a desire to give Ian Fleming’s novels a try. I purchased and quickly devoured Casino Royale, finding the book a gripping, tightly written adventure story. I determined then and there to try to get through all the Ian Fleming 007 books this year. The second on the list, Live and Let Die, has nearly derailed that uberlist goal.
The internet is a fascinating place. In addition to the wonderful people one meets and converses with on a daily basis through blogs, one can follow paths that veer off this way and that to all manner of interesting things. I thought that today I’d post some links to a few interesting destinations that I arrived at last night.
