The Blades Library Book Club: Colonel Sun
Welcome back to The Blades Library Book Club – the place for quality discussions of the books of James Bond!
Every two months a James Bond 007 novel is chosen for the club members to read. A thread is posted in the club forums listing locations on where you can find the novel. Discussions about the book will go on as the book is read and when it is finished. Another thread will be created so that club members can post their review and give a rating on the current book.
All fans of the Literary Bond are eligible for membership. All you need to do to sign up is register for the CBn Forums and then post your name in the sign up thread.
The Book Club’s Fifteenth Book
Currently we are progressing though the James Bond 007 novels in chronological order, since quite a number of members are using the club as an opportunity to read the books for the very first time. The club has just finished the fourteenth and final Ian Fleming James Bond novel. Therefore, Colonel Sun by Kingsley Amis will be the book in the hands of readers for June 2006. Colonel Sun, published in 1968, is Kingsley Amis’ first (and only) James Bond adventure.
