Welcome back to the MI6 Book Club!! Get your drinks, snacks and any notes you have and gather round for its Book Club time!
If you want any resources for the Casino Royale book, please find the link to the resources in the sidebar on the right! Please check the schedule to find out what we're discussing this week!
Book Club is designed to be a place where you can go beyond the Bond movies and delve into another medium with our favourite secret agent. There is no set discussions, if you have anything interesting you want to discuss about your reading experience, comments on the text, or even how reading the book might have changed your view on the characters in the movies then do share!
Some Questions to get us started!
1) What was your favourite scene? Why is this?
2) What have you found interesting about the book so far?
Don't limit yourself to just these questions - this is just to get your started! Post your views, thoughts and opinions on the book so far!
Please note - We will be discussing chapter 1-13 this week, so please keep your points to those chapters! We will be discussing the remainder of the book at the next Book Club!
Happy discussing!

Re: Castillon
Date: 2015-08-11 11:28 am (UTC)3) (in case anyone else is wondering, I'm the Carol mentioned above) I would say a fair amount of empathy? I think this is addressed a little in some of the later chapters, Bond thinking about stuff from other points of view, so look out for that
4) I think it sort of shows that despite all of Bond's preparations, there's not much he can do in some situations. I honestly can't remember where i posted this (tumblr? here?) but there's a thing about how MI6 is like the plucky agency, hanging on in there despite lacking all the resources of the CIA and the KGB... and words have failed me, and I can't work out how to express what I'm thinking anymore. Whoops.
5) oooooooh no I missed that implication. idk, tbh, I think Le Chiffre is more of a villain as a communist than anything else - on the other hand he's a banker, and, well, jewish stereotypes... but then the villain in [SPOILERS] Moonraker is a Nazi [END SPOILERS]
6) *flips Bond off and throws him off a balcony*
7) I thought Clements was the head of the field agents, not just Double Os, but idk. I think the broker is in charge of money
8) yeessss
