Ian Fleming’s Live and Let Die (1954).
A quick read, somewhat entertaining, not highly gripping. More development of Bond as a character and what gave him his reputation as a cold, ruthless killer.

I’ve heard that there are two orders to read it in, and I’m curious which is better, the publication order or the “chronological” order.
Publication Orderor
Chronological OrderAny thoughts?
I have two jobs this summer. First, I worked for the state attorney general’s child support office for six weeks which, while it didn’t guarantee me a job, gave me a pretty good avenue for getting a job outside my hometown. My second job is with the Department of Justice. I’ll be there for six weeks. I hope that at least one of those two jobs turns into a post-law school job so that I can get out of here!
