Don't do that. I thought for a moment it was going to be Mandy Patinkin who'd checked out.
Oh dear....I love The Princess Bride!

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means
Applicable in so many cases
Such a fantastic tale.
Sad day.😪
Aw, sad news.
Must dig this out and re-read it, a very entertaining book...
Introduced to to my kids a month back. The next few days we were rhyming everything we could.
Great movie and a very watchable actor.
The future's all yours, you lousy bicycles.
Inconceivable!
Sad to hear this, I went through a stage of buying his books back in the day, a great writer.
Marathon Man - one of the best books ever and a great film too (not even mentioned in that article is it?)(Is it safe?!)
Magic, Control, Tinsel, all great books.
RIP
I too have fond memories of WIlliam Goldman's works. Never knew about Princess Bride (and still haven't watched it) but last night I decided to stay in and watch Manchurian Candidate. Sadly I screwed up and found myself watching the 2004 remake. Half an hour in and I gave up, and I would normally watch Denzel in anything.
Luckily I was able to find the original on an old drive. And after this afternoon's ride I'll be re-reading Condon's original book, and maybe trying to remember where my copy of Adventures in the screen trade is. And then watching Marathon Man.

:O
You need to do something about that!
Oh not the actor???
Gonna look up those books....
and "Brothers" - Sequel to Marathon Man, while you're at it 🙂
I've been trying to convince my wife that Inigo Montoya is a good name for our soon to be firstborn. She's not convinced. Though I don't really want to be killed by a six fingered man, so perhaps for the best.
The Princess Bride took an another layer of greatness when I watched it with my kids and realised lots of it was filmed where I now live (The Peak District).
I had no idea it was a novel first - will have to read!
the novel has much more of the interjections from the narrator (i.e. Peter Falk). It's very entertaining.
