Prepared possibly to read about an Ian Fleming character (5)
I believe the answer is:
armed
'prepared' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'possibly to read about an ian fleming character' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'an ian fleming character' becomes 'm' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'read' is an anagram of 'ared'.
'ared' enclosing 'm' is 'ARMED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for armed that I've seen before include "Given weapons" , "Having guns" , "with Browning?" , "Provided with weapons" , "unlike the Venus of Milo" .)
