Has anyone under the age of 70 ever read a James Bond book? This just seems like a waste of paper.


Ive read several. The obvious one in question when i read the topic title is Dr. No. There's a lot of stereotypes of black people and a really racist take on how the black characters speak that in the time of printing probably seemed not offensive at all to a white writer.

And, breaking news, people can read books published well before they're born. Wild, i know.
