Welcome to Litsy!

8/100 this time. There are few that look interesting, I always meant to watch seven.

Ian Fleming, I'm pretty sure that women have never smelt like a combination of freshly mown hay and sweet pepper, I can not even imagine what that smells like. That's some imagination!

This book is of course filled with the usual racism and misogyny found in the previous books but that aside there's something compelling about these, the ridiculousness of the plot I guess is enough to keep me turning those pages.

There did seem to be far less problematic content in this entry compared to the first two books and it was great to see Bond blown out by a woman finally!

These books are a real eye opener for me, I was always under the impression that Bond was a super spy, intelligent, no one could fool Bond. However he comes across very ditzy to me, easily fooled and not particularly clever.

Took the 003rd Bond book to Digby‘s in Pall Mall. After a delicious Louis XIII pizza, cooked by guest chef Renato Viola & a desert of strawberries in Kirsch I retired to the lounge. I sat in a 1950s Howard & Sons Bridgwater chair, slightly angled towards the Adam fireplace with its cozy heat, & devoured this novel. The antiquated attitudes to woman left a sour taste but I washed this away with a glass of Wolfschmidt vodka and a dash of pepper.

1.People texting me or trying to talk!In a book,I absolutely detest storylines that use sexual assault of a woman as catalysts for male protagonists storylines.
