Sigh. That quote is the first line of the Princess Bride book.

I agree that Goldman is an amazing writer. I was compelled to track down and read many of his books after I learned he was the mind behind both Marathon Man and The Princess Bride, but I’ve got a completely unrelated question for you.

Who’s quote are you responding to?

“This is my favorite book in all the world, although I have never read it. How can that be?…”

Goldman’s books are better than the films. Princess Bride, Magic, Marathon Man, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid. The guy’s a genius and I’ve read almost everything he’s done.

If you like Goldman, you might also want to try Ira Levin.
