 |  |  |  | Bigode, you read much more worthwhile books than my mom. Heehee- my mom has been reading somewhat trashy books lately. She needs the escape from stress. She did used to love Kafka though, but it's been more than 10 years since read anything by him.
Kingsley, the Princess Bride is such a good book! Isn't the scene when Wesley leaves Buttercup hilarious? And I love Inigo's story, and Fezzik's. There is SO much more than the movie. And Buttercup's personality is so much more developed. In the movie, she was very regal and moral, but in the book, she's kind of a twit, don't you think? The movie is great in it's own right, one of my all time favorite comedies, but the book is just amazing. And William Goldman is so funny. I could never figure out if the Princess Bride is really "abridged" or if the whole book is fiction, including the William Goldman parts. |  |  |  |  |
