I thought of a literary Bond elimination game (Fleming only, as I've only read a couple of the continuation novels), but I'm unsure how to treat the short stories: individually, as collections or not at all (Can you really compare a short story to a novel? They're two different beasts entirely). What do you guys think?

I think the short stories should be considered on their own as some are quite longish - like Octopussy. Or it could be a Fleming Bond novels game.

Well, unless anyone begs me not to, that's what I'll do.

Two games one for short stories and one for novels ? I would say we could keep it in the same thread but can get confusing.

Too late, the game's already started.
