And The Princess Bride by William Goldman it is!
Put me down in the ranks of those who never heard of the book or the movie. |

The Princess Bride is waiting at my library along with Never Let Me Go and I'll be returning The Remains of the Day. Idle will wait in my elibrary...

I'm on chapter five now, the movie follows the books quite well, but obviously they changed a few details.
The movie has a bit more comedy though. |

I bought the movie, which I've never seen, for my daughter for her Birthday yesterday. Never let it be said I let an opportunity pass me by . I'll wait and read the book first, though.

Probably a good plan. This is one of the (very) few cases where the book is not as good as the movie. At least in my opinion.

I haven't seen Napolean Dynamite . But I've watched The Princess Bride many times. I have it on DVD at home. Love the movie.
