Several years ago now, I began buying the 2006 Penguin editions of the James Bond novels and reading them, usually one every four months.
When I finish each book, I then watch the film adaptation, resulting in a rather scattershot understanding of Bond on screen. Daniel Craig to Roger Moore will give you whiplash! Then I listen to the audio adaptation, and finally I read the comic book adaptation.
Having exhausted the books, I shall go on to the remaining films in release order, along with the original Daily Express comic strips.
