Interesting thought.
When listening to Tom reading out loud, which Bond-actor is in your mental images?
Surprisingly, for me it was Danny, even though I tried in the beginning conciously visualize Connery. I think it was the explicity.
Great podcast! I remember picking the Craig Bond songs on the guitar as well- the same chords repeated. I think it’s fun to have my guitar handy while watching FYEO and jam along with Drive In The Country.
I definitely need to catch up on these newer continuation novels. I got thru Carte Blanche, but don’t remember much about it. This one sounds great, though. I love the idea of Bond slightly older set a few years after the Fleming books.
Interesting for me as when I read the Fleming novels I pictured Bond looking like a cross between the George Almond illustration seen in the Raymond Benson Bedside Companion, and the John McLusky Bond. Gardner’s Bond I picture closer to Sean in NSNA, so I wonder how I’d envision Boyd’s 007? Maybe like Yorak’s.
