I don't know whether its an age or a culture thing but the Agent 86 references are going right over my head.

Yes, from the TV series and two movies "Get Smart". I liked the quotable lines and the lines of Agent 99 (Barbara Feldon):

All this talk of secret agents and associated femme fatales got me thinking about a recent (small) venture of mine.

On a whim I purchased the Kindle version of Ian Fleming's Casino Royale (the 1st James Bond book) for my iPad. I remember my mother years ago saying she had read all of the Bond books, I just never got around to it.
Well, I am here to say I am glad I didn't put it off any longer. Fleming is an excellent writer that is particularly good at describing his scenes so that you feel you are right there with 007.
His first lady sidekick is one Vesper Lynd. She works under the "Head of S" or Soviet section of the British secret service, who is trying to retire thru bankruptcy one Le Chiffre also known as Herr Ziffer, etc.

So far I am a bit over halfway through, and Bond has managed to step in it along with Vesper, but no spoilers. Lots of fun and juicy espionage. Give it a try!
