Casino Royale.

Pick a card, any card. Well, not just any card, not when your life depends on it.Especially when the stakes are tyhat high. which they are when you are playing with someone elses money.... Had this one sitting for a while. Picked up on a not so recent book haul.I was intrigued by the retro cover and by the notion I had never read any Ian Fleming. I wondered what could have spawned the monster of a franchise that is all things Bond. I only recently watched No Time To Die and wanted to investigate the dirty roots of this monstrous growth. One should always beware when tugging at the roots of anything, not withstanding Goblin men and all they plant, for fear of what one will unearth. Unearthing can be an unpredictable process.Glad I did now, it surprised me enough to want to read some more Ian Fleming. Maybe Chitty, Chitty, Bang,Bang next.
