The Princess Bride by William Goldman Lincoln's Melancholy by Joshua Wolf Shenk

Re The Princess Bride by William Goldman ~ I love the movie but, when I tried to read the book, I just couldn't seem to get into it. But that was a few years ago, and I was in a different place, so it's going back on my TBR list on your recommendations.

Princess Bride is also a great favorite of mine--I didn't discover the book until about 3 years ago but I've read it twice already and will definitely read it again!

The Princess Bride by William Goldman. It is sillier than a mad hatter on skates, but I have read it at least 10 times and I will probably read it again and again. Also, anything by Roald Dahl. I love that guy.

I just realized I never listed a book I finished months ago, so #39 The Princess Bride.

Can't forget The Princess Bride by William Goldman.

For my fiction/non-fiction selections I have; 11. The Princess Bride by William Goldman- which I am currently reading. 12. Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt 13. Wicked by Gregory Maguire 14. A Gift of Wings by Richard Bach 15. An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde ...

... Lord of the Rings is the clear winner, with 11 votes (the next nearest were Twilight, Chronicles of Narnia, and Princess Bride with eight each). So, everybody get out your copies of The Fellowship of the Ring! I think Monday is a bit soon to start. What does everyone think of ...

I think The Princess Bride would be a really great book to read as a group. I want to suggest Pride and Prejudice, but I think the I Love Jane Austen group is doing a group read of the author's complete works. Perhaps we should add the Inkworld trilogy to the pool of suggestions since we ...

#40 -- I'll be curious to hear what you think about the book The Princess Bride. I also adored the movie but didn't think the book was quite as good. Which is odd because it usually works the other way around. No new books for me lately :(

... to find something to read while waiting for a friend at a coffeeshop, and couldn't resist buying these ones: 1) The Princess Bride, by William Goldman. It's one of my favorite films (seen it countless times), but I'd never read the book. So of course it caught my eye and winked ...

I'm looking for a copy of William Goldman's The Princess Bride. It has been near impossible to find. I got so excited when I got an alert that a copy had been added the other day, but of course it was reserved for their friend. :C Can anyone help me? Pwetty pwease? ETA, someone ...

... of the Queen, Arrow's Flight, and Arrow's Fall (though more the first than the second or third) are a good bet. Also The Princess Bride, but only if the girls are advanced in dry wit and not as wide-eyed and naive as I and my Christian HS pals were back in the day.

... series is fun historical fiction. There are dragons, but it's not fantasy -- no magic. Everybody needs to read Princess Bride. Book Thief is amazing, again lots of discussion points. That's all off the top of my head.. If I think of anything else I'll come back! :)

The Princess Bride?

Cary Elwes in The Princess Bride

I always loved the scene in The Princess Bride when Wesley is telling her he's going to go away to make his fortune, and she doesn't understand that he's doing it for her. Such a great scene!

MrsLee, for you I would recommend The Princess Bride: S Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure by William Goldman. How fun!

The Princess Bride by William Goldman. I'm not sure if you will consider this ya, but I do. And it is definitely romantic! I like romance that a boy or a girl can pick up. How about The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo. I think teens like romance as much as adventure. I do anyway.
