Casino Royale cover

Quick answer

Start with Casino Royale (1953), the first James Bond novel. Ian Fleming wrote twelve novels and two short story collections, For Your Eyes Only (1960) and Octopussy and The Living Daylights (1966), and the books read best in publication order because Bond's story with SPECTRE and Blofeld runs across Thunderball, On Her Majesty's Secret Service and You Only Live Twice.
