Chock full of footnotes...
I tried to read "Casino Royale" as that 007 has made its mark on culture and I thought that reading one (the first) wouldn't kill me.
I'll mark it as DNF. Ok, it's 70 years old and I don't think it aged well at all.
The edition I read even had a disclaimer that some anachronisms (which?) were altered.
Spoiler alert: Mr Bond bores us with explaining the game of baccarat, then plays same. Then gratuitous violence, sadism, murder.
