Getting very hard to choose at this point. I'm deducting points from Goldfinger as it's a rare example where the changes made for the film adaptation are almost all improvements.

Tough choices ahead, I don't think I've read moonraker. Goldfinger I thumbed through not all that long ago.

Moonraker is a little hard to get going but it is a classic. Classic Bond a Bond where he is so chivalrous its sad.

I like Moonraker because it set around the area I live in. In Goldfinger too I think Bond drives through the [place where I often go for a country walk!

I've just read FRWL again which has some really memorable characters.

Fine, I'll pick off the weakest in the herd, but in truth, I think the top 6 are all pretty much equally good.

Yes, I'm pretty much just following the herd at this point. There's really so little to choose between the remaining books in terms of quality.

Hey, Sweeney, as someone who prefers the literary Bond to the movie Bond, how come you're not joining in this game?
