And yes, Pussy Galore was a real character in the novels - not a Hollywood gimmick. But the movies did leave out the giant squid from Dr. No - maybe they couldn't lease Disney's after it was killed by Captain Nemo.  |
I just finished "From Russia with Love" and it was really a great read. Nice to see the full story and not the "Movie" version.
Now I am reading:
The Coffin Dancer - Jeffrey Deaver
Outliers - Malcolm Gladwell
Coffin Dancer is second in the Lincoln Rhyme series. It is a serious page turner.
