As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of the Princess Bride | Cary Elwes

pick

5🌟 All the bloody stars!!! This book was great. It was an absolute joy. Whoever on here read it and alerted me to its existence, thank you so much. I listened to the audiobook over the last three days and what a way to start the day. It's funny, you actually laugh as he's telling some of these crazy stories. It's just wonderful. I need more books like this one for the mornings. How can you have a bad day when you start your day with this?!

GingerAntics He got great additions from the rest of the cast, so it feels like a rounded remembrance of life while making this movie, from beginning to end. I adored this book. The best part, this English guy's big toe sounds more like a New Yorker than English. It's perfection. Every last bit of this book is perfection. #asyouwish #caryelwes #audiobook #teaandabook #teaandanaudiobook (edited) 5y

GingerAntics I loathe having to give it back to the library, but it's got a waiting list, so it's the nice thing to do. Sigh. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Such a great book!!!! 5y

As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of the Princess Bride | Cary Elwes

I've been on the wait list for this for AGES!!! I'm so excited it's here. I'm switching to this, since it should be far more enjoyable with my morning tea. I'm thinking Gulliver's Travels will be better on serial reader instead of a dryly read audiobook (and not during NaNoWriMo).

GingerAntics I've been trying to find a few books my MC would read to his child(ren) that weren't necessarily children's books, but would still appeal to them. Maybe something that made his wife shake her head or his father chuckle. I can't believe I didn't think of The Princess Bride before now.

Gulliver's Travels (Revised) | Jonathan Swift

I was a strange child. Apparently I greatly loved this story...I am quite frankly borde by it, now. I like other of Swift's works so much more. This just seems to go on and on. Not sure if I'm going to get through it before its due. With the wait list I can't renew it, either.

GingerAntics A Modest Proposal was great. It was oddly funny and oddly still completely poignant. Admittedly, I have a bit of a twisted sense of humor so that may have had something to do with that assessment. What was not funny was when I had a student who didn't get that it was snark and claimed in a paper that Jonathan Swift believed Irish children should be eaten, actually ate them, and would not be persuaded from this view. Now THAT is twisted.

BookishBelle I also enjoyed A Modest Proposal much more than Gulliver‘s Travels. I read them both in undergrad. Can‘t remember if I actually finished Gulliver‘s Travels... I think I did. I was much more strict with myself about such things back then. Now I‘ll just bail. 5y

GingerAntics @BookishBelle that's interesting, because I find myself more strict about finishing now than I used to be. lol I think I generally skim when bored just to say I finished. lol That may end up happen with theserial reader, but at least I tried. 🤷🏼‍♀️ (edited) 5y

BookishBelle That‘s the spirit!! Lol 5y

The Kite Runner. Movie Tie-In | Khaled Hosseini

5🌟 This has to be one of the most heart breaking stories I've read. I was so hoping that it would have a happy ending. It sort of did, but somehow that was still heartbreaking, too. It's a wonderful, beautiful story. I know why people love it so much and why the wait list is so long on it. I'm excited to pass it along to the next person now.

The Kite Runner. Movie Tie-In | Khaled Hosseini

This just took an unexpected turn; although, was it really? I guess all those years of thinking his father loved his servant's son more than him might have been accurate. This really is a beautiful story in a truly heartbreaking way.
