Wow a very rare one to the NM.

How many Ian fleming James Bond books are there ?

I'll go for 22 (including the one with his cousin in as Scaramanga)

no idea, but assuming Harry is on the ball, i'll go for 19

Nope and by way of clarification I am counting collections of short stories such as FYEO as one book

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 11:36 am

on a spot check i've counted 15 bond films. i realise that there were fewer books than films and that i've probably forgotten about a third of the films so, i've revised my shot-in-the-dark to 14. any good?

Hmm your logic defeats but nevertheless it is indeed 14 (or at least there are 14 in the box set I purchased from Amazon recently. At around £35, a nice gift for any fan.

Have not read them since I was a kid and it is amazing to see just how mysoginist and racist Fleming was- no doubt twisted my own view of the world growing up. Classic observation in Thunderball is that in Bond's mind there is only one thing worse in the world than a woman driving and that is a woman driving with anothe woman passenger.

Quality stuff over to you Isty

w00t, go me. i've never seen a bond film and i can't read but there is nothing like casual misogyny

question number next:

after insects, what phylum of animal has the most species?

Birds?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 5:29 pm

birds is a good guess, but not right. some birds eat the right answer though.

hmmm. beetles?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Wed Dec 10, 2008 8:06 am

not beetles, they be under insects.

and not spiders either but it is another type of creepy crawly.
