Actually, mandrill has a lot worse to say about those novels, and he kept on reading them.
James Bond Books Will Be Edited

What are the "real questions" in your opinion, Mello?
So far, I've posted that the original Bond novels aren't valuable enough to be worth worrying if they're being destroyed by being censored. That's pretty much all I said.
Says the dude who thinks that COVID was a hoax perpetrated by the government and Big Pharma.
C'mon. I've read Roth and Mailer and Burroughs. You could have read them as well. They're in any library - except probably in Florida and most other Red States. If that makes me "savvy", there you go.
You know Rich. The sad thing is that you think I didn't read books that were "written at a grade 6 level" for a popular mass market. Everybody read those books when I was growing up. It was like going to see Star Wars or Jaws in the 1970's, a mass popular culture thing.
12 years after To Kill a Mockingbird was released, Richard Pryor spoofed it in Southern Belle from his Grammy Award Winning Album That N$$$$r's Crazy. For some reason, it's not available on it's own, probably runs into the same problems with YT that Cheech and Chong had with Buggery on the High Seas. Comedy was very crusty in the 70's.
I just started reading this thread and Mandi has told you over and over and over he has not read the book and doesn't like action movies. Geeez man, read slowly. LOL
I for one liked the James Bond movies with Roger Moore and Sean Connery, never read the books though, and don't care either way if the rights holder edits it or not, it's a nothing burger.
What was that squeezer?
One more time, I didn't hear you the first time. LOL
They say much like Shakespeare that it is best enjoyed in Klingon. Why Hitler would write a book for Germans in Klingon is beyond me, but then according to Kids in the Hall he blanked some poor kid's donkey so meh.It probably loses some of its zing in translation.
Funny thing, they are editing out words because they are offensive and hurtful but rap music is just filled to the brim with those words and crickets. Hell one chick in England landed in legal trouble for quoting Snoop Dog lyrics in honour of a friend who died who loved the dude but he does a concert and no problem.
Including words that would probably get me banned if I dare utter them here even if I use them in discussing the word and not as a slur, also words like bitch, some of these guys use bitch about as much as Andrew Taint.
But remember that word is very hurtful so of course no self respecting black person would ever use it because they would understand the pain it would bring... NOT!

Conservatives across the US have successfully banned many books in schools recently with some even calling for book burnings. I guess they're the "woke left" too with all that censorship. All those damned hard-line anti-LGBTQ, anti-gay-mariage, anti-pride, anti-BLM, pro-gun, pro-oil, anti-immigration, pro-Trump, "woke left" Republicans, eh?
Roger Moore was my favourite also with Connery close behind. But then I was a big Saint fan too.
Most Public libraries don't have copies of controversial books anymore, and many of those books are out of print. Try to find anything written by Henry Miller in a Toronto Public Library. The only place to find them is at second hand book stores, and many of those were put out of business by COVID-19 restrictions.
Other than in specialty stores, it's difficult to find printed periodicals for titles less popular that what's carried in a Shopper's Drug Mart, and they're all really expensive, with the lower print runs these days. I think the price of a National Enquirer by the cash registers at a grocery store was around $7.00.
When literature only exists in a digital form, it's very easy to alter or excise the ones that don't suit the agenda of the copyright holders, and without printed copies of the originals circulating, no one, a few generations from now, will know the difference. I'm not one of the people who sees that as progress.
