Those last two appear to be short stories.

I know. But they are still books. Anyway, I've clarified the list more now, you old nit-pick, Kristatos....

Currently...

From Russia with Love
Moonraker
Casino Royale
Live and Let Die
Diamonds Are Forever

Love my top three, the other two I wasn't too impressed with. Currently I am reading Dr. No and it will probably end up behind Casino Royale. Note that I already consider it just as good as the top 3 and FAR better than the bottom two. :)
