I'm a big fan of the movies and I've know for a while that the character is based off a series of books, but I've never gotten around to actually picking any of them up.

Bond being a womanizer is no surprise really. I obviously don't support that kind of behavior, but characters are often more interesting when they are flawed. Even if the flaws were unintentional on the part of the author. (Thanks for the resources btw)

The womanizer part is to be expected, it's the whole "What am I supposed to do with a beautiful woman in a luxury casino?" aspect that I found funny.
