That’s true, although if you *do* end up paying full price it’s insane. You wind up paying like $60 for a large pizza and some chicken nuggets. But I guess that’s the game.

Also, they keep being slow to deliver my order and then giving me a free pizza. It’s a never ending cycle of free pizzas. Can’t beat that!

I bought the first one but haven’t read it yet. This is prompting me to bump it up in the queue!

Also, if you haven’t read it, Some Desperate Glory is also fantastic.

And actually, the whole film series makes much more sense if you just accept that there have been several different spies operating under the moniker "James Bond" at various times over the past ~65 years.

Granted, I haven't read the books so maybe it actually is his real name but even so, who cares?

Also though, given his line of work, James Bond is almost certainly not his real name. He could easily be like the Dread Pirate Roberts. If the movie tried to explain that it'd be weird but if they just did it it'd be fine.
