I've read Casino Royale and a few of the short stories, but I've been wanting to read the rest of the original Fleming novels for ages. The cover art on the earlier editions is gorgeous, although the new reprint covers aren't too bad. Which ones have you read?
Yay for understanding baccarat; Fleming does go into great detail about all of the plays, doesn't he? It breaks my heart that they're playing Texas Hold 'Em in the upcoming movie. Ian Fleming must be rolling in his grave.
Oh, the Prisoner! I hope that you like it — there's much trippy philosophical goodness to be found :)
