Bond is back!

I really like James Bond.  I enjoy reading Bond books and watching (most of) the movies.  I haven't read a James Bond book for a long time, but I just found out that a NEW Bond book will be released in the US this week!

The first Bond book was "Casino Royale", written in 1953 by Ian Fleming.   James Bond became so popular, Ian Fleming wrote many more books.  After Fleming passed away, other authors wrote Bond novels & short stories.  Many of the Bond books became movies, and some Bond movies were written before their book counterpart.

If you want to read & learn more about James Bond, I recommend the "Simple English" Wiki page

If you want to learn more about the new novel, and practice your listening, I recommend the new 6 Minute English page on BBC's Learning English website

Of course, I recommend reading the books and watching the James Bond movies, especially earlier Bond films like "Goldfinger".  You can get ready for the next Bond movie, which is supposed to come out next year.
