I'm a big fan of the movies. I've adored Daniel Craig the most, though. He just takes this smooth, suave, womanizing spy and turns him inside out. Major kudos to him there. Right now I'm in love with James Bond, only played by Craig, of course.
I've read one original book. I agree with BenFranks' original post. It did get a bit "Jane Austen" at points. (For anyone who's interested, I read 'The Spy Who Loved Me'--terrific narrator.) But Bond was very sweet, although it did get a bit unrealistic at the sex scenes. (And no, I will not divulge details on a young writers' website.)
But, when James Bond lives, Ian Fleming lives. As previously said, the man is a genius.
