update:
finished reading The Princess Bride. So early on into the book, I knew it had solidified itself as being one of my favorites of all time. Don’t know the last time I read something so incredibly unique, brilliant, and clever. William Goldman’s literary genius — and I view it as nothing short of just that — is so clear in this novel.
highly personal opinion that I know has no objective truth to it: it read to me almost the way books “should” be (though the very word “should,” I think, is hardly ever appropriate in the realm of the arts). it read the way I wished more books were! it was high fantasy, the dominance of goodness over evil, the victory of true love, harsh truths about life, endlessly funny, adorable, ridiculously entertaining in its writing style, so chock-full of twists and turns to keep the reader engaged, all wrapped into one.
that’s all! just wanted to update on that book.
