For August we'll be discussing the novel Casino Royale by Ian Fleming Film directed by Martin Campbell. The movie is available to stream on Netflix. Chances are the meeting will not be four hours, I just reserve the time to make sure if there's a disconnection people are able to log back in. If you are having an issue finding a copy of the eBook or audio-book please contact me. And as always suggestions are always welcome.

Description: British Secret Service agent James Bond, a.k.a. 007, is sent to play in a high-stakes baccarat game in an effort to take down Le Chiffre, a financier for the villainous SMERSH.
