I do wish.....

THE PRINCESS BRIDE is truly one of the greatest movies ever made.  It isn't THE GREATEST, but it is pretty awesome and should be a movie EVERYONE sees!  I love it so much, I own two DVDs and, yes, I can quote a good portion of the movie, as so many others can and do!!!  I especially love to attempt the accents used within the movie, but I'm not very good at them.  Cary Elwes is pretty awesome himself and his telling some of the behind-the-scenes stories of the making one of the greatest movies of all time just made me cry--in a good way!!!  The movie is so special in so many ways that reading about it as told from the perspective of Westley himself just makes it that much better.  Thank you, Cary
and others from the cast, for sharing so much of yourselves in AS YOU WISH:  INCONCEIVABLE TALES FROM THE MAKING OF THE PRINCESS BRIDE.  I loved reading it!!!!

A "Guilty Pleasure" Read

THE MACKINNON'S BRIDE by Tanya Anne Crosby is my typical "guilty pleasure" read.  Nothing extra special about it.  Just a simple, quick read where I don't have to think much, but just enjoy reading for the sake of reading.
