Funny thing is the stories that Fleming wrote werent realistic at all, they were whimsical fantastical spy stories. Not even Thrillers, just good stories with a dry humor twist.

I'm sorry to disagree, but I think we read different James Bond books. In the books, Bond was a borderline alchoholic and was pretty much either drunk or working. He got horribly tortured in Casino Royale and Le Chiffre was going to castrate him. Then a SMERSH agent kills Le Chiffre and carves something in the back of Bond's hand.
I don't remember all of the books, I didn't read them until about 5 years ago but I remember being shocked at how dark they were. I thought Casino Royale was much more like the books that I did read. I never read the short-stories, but I liked Quantum of Solace the movie (I've heard that movie isn't even really related to the book).
