Well where the hell were you last night when I was confused? I could have looked stupid in our home without 1500 people watching me be dumb.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
There is no S. Morgenstern, and no "original" version of the book. The "abridged" version is the only one, and was written entirely by William Goldman.

Thank you, Jessica.
Why can't Wiki just say that?
I'm gonna create a new Wiki for those of us who need the 30 words or less answers. For those of us who operate under the Governor Ritchie Communication Plan. Conscise, short, factual.

I was probably either upstairs reading or sitting right next to you.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Hey Aimee, when I read The Princess Bride it didn't even occur to me that the stuff about Morganstern and the lawsuit and all that was fictional. I can't remember how I ended up finding out the truth. I still get an unpleasant feeling when I think about the book. Sort of icky and betrayed.
Luckily, there's a movie!
