Bond, James Bond - Beyond Tiki

I am fond of Dalton too - he played Bond closest to Fleming's original vision of the character. Anyone here a fan of the original novels? Good stuff, and very different from the films. Fewer gadgets, no slapstick, usually only one girl per book, and continuity from story to story (each picks up where the last one left off, and sometimes with cliffhangers - like Bond having amnesia at the end of You Only Live Twice, and having to prove himself to M again in Man with the Golden Gun).
