Authors you actually like.

Plus seeing James Bond get pwned by Tiger Tanaka for not knowing who Basho is in You Only Live Twice is HILARIOUS, considering Bond strikes me as the type who reads Biggles books all day.

"We have a dangerous mission lined up for you Bond, it will require all your skills and.."
"Not now M, I'm reading Biggles Flies East!"


Anyway, whats wrong with Biggles? ahhh Biggles, such a delightfully quaint name.

The issue is Biggles is somewhat old fashioned in its attitudes to other cultures. Bond is similar in that he's head-deskingly racist. Biggles less so, because Biggles has no mean intentions.
