London and James Bond

They shared this image a few days ago on the official Facebook page of Ian Fleming, with a quote from Live and Let Die. I am sharing it because I love the quote, with his feeling of danger and looming menace. It also mentions London, a place we generally see only briefly in James Bond novels and movies. London is the starting point of his adventures, rarely the setting. So anyway, that's why I wanted to share it today.

James Bond for January

I know the next James Bond movie will not be available until, well, until a long while, to my great sadness. But for those who are Bond fans like me, we can still enjoy the other films, but also the novels. On the official Facebook page of Ian Fleming, they shared this image recently, with this quote from Live and Let Die. Two things came to my mind I saw it: 1)I often read at least one spy thriller this time of year (albeit not necessarily James Bond) and 2)Ian Fleming sure kne how to set up atmosphere, and not always glamorous one. I might not reread Live and Let Die yet, got too many new books to get through, but I might just enjoy a few pages here and there this month.
