Books 95-96

 95) For Your Eyes Only: my last Bond book out of the house clean-out, this one is a collection of short stories, two of which were mushed together to make the movie of that name and one of which, Quantum of Solace, was used as the title for the latest Bond movie. The short story actually used the title term in a sensible way (it is the minimum amount of compassion required for a marriage to survive); the movie isn't based on that story at all. All 5 of the stories were very enjoyable - to my mind Bond works a little better as a short story hero than in the novels, where copious time is spent discussing what he's eating and wearing. 

96) Sin City: The Big Fat Kill: (Reread) Pulled this off the shelf to kill a little time. The beginning is a little slow, but the scene with Dwight and Jackie-Boy in the car is frikin' hysterical. I've always preferred Dwight over Marv as a hero - I like my protagonists a little more cerebral - and while this isn't as good as Dame to Kill For it was miles better than Family Values.
