The Princess Bride: S. Morgenstern’s Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure, The “Good Parts” Version scavenger hunt

questions and activities to get you into the book club mood

What was your favourite Goldman annotation?

Most interesting difference between the movie and the novel?

Favourite quote!

On a scale of 1-10, rank your reaction to the ending of BD and the child of characters in True Love, compared to the legal sinkhole of a sequel Buttercup’s Baby.

Fancast time - in the age of remakes, who is our modern day cast to take up the mantle after the well-loved classic film?

Goldman inserted his own take on the ending, at odds with Morgenstern’s ending, in 100 words or less, add yours!

F$$k/Marry/Kill - Count Rugen/Miracle Max/The Albino

Let pit two bad b!tches against each other - Bella verses Buttercup, similarities and differences

Edward pontificates about Bella’s traits being reflected within her favourite literary characters - but aspect of any character within the Princess Bride would Edward see in Bella?

EXTRA CREDIT: Did you manage to find an English copy of the unabridged Morgenstern? If so, what did you think of it?

okay, but in the universe of The Princess Bride, S. Morgenstern's classic tale of true love and high adventure has got to be, like, the Florinese in-universe equivalent of The Three Musketeers. Buttercup, Westley, Inigo, Fezzik, and the rest, they must be like stock public domain characters peppered lovingly throughout Florinese stories and songs and bedtime tales

I almost want to say it's the Florinese equivalent of Les Miserables, criticizing the ruling class and making heroes of the common people (Buttercup and Westley, ordinary farmhands; Inigo and Fezzik obviously represent the "new Florinese," the immigrants who came from overseas; and lots of digressive asides which are elided to make a snappier story)

today i learned that william goldman (the guy who wrote "the princess bride" (the og book version)) is lowkey a biiiiitch and it's kinda hilarious

now, you may be thinking, wait didn't s. morgenstern write the og og book, and goldman just made the common abridged version?

nope.

s. morgenstern doesn't fucking exist.

goldman made him up. (as a prank? as a joke? as lore? i honestly dont know haha)

he wrote an entire thing at the start of the book that was just like "oh, i wish i came up with this story, i love all the characters, blah, blah, blah"

also-

at least the version i have, on the cover, says "includes the first chapter of the long-lost sequal, buttercup's baby"

:0000 there's a sequel??? whaaat i must read

wrong again.

if i'm correct, he wrote one chapter and then stopped, but put it in here for funseys

pleeease if you have any other silly william goldman stuff put it in the notes i'd love to hear

I don't know who needs to hear this but most of the 1-star Amazon reviews for The Princess Bride by William Goldman are people absolutely IRATE that it isn't "the original book" and is instead an "abridged version" by "the screenplay writer."

#the princess bride #book reviews #william goldman #the best troll #amazon reviews #I'd like to think that William Goldman knows about this and is delighted #missing the bit #s. morgenstern #the man the myth the legend

me, realizing that both Sebastian Morgenstern & Aleksander Morozova got stabbed by the girl who was their nemesis—the same girl they became sexually obsessed with because they were obsessed with ruling the world alongside the only person who could be their “equal” 😳

oh & their parents were obsessed with making them strong

Jocelyn: Pfft, I'm sorry for both of you.

Maryse: Then what are you sleeping with?

reading the princess bride and laughing at the fact that in humperdincks zoo of death, on the third level reserved for "poisoners" along with "spitting cobras" and "death bats", hes also included ..... jumping spiders.

just imagining this place filled with all these animals that could kill u with one bite and then.. theres a little jumping spider, looking up at u with its big ole eyes.

not to mention that the whole point of this zoo is that humperdinck can go n hunt these animals anytime he likes. this big guy needs to feel the thrill of the hunt and tells the albino keeper that he wants to hunt down a jumping spider today. amazing

#the princess bride #the princess bride s morgenstern's classic tale of romance and high adventure #i can excuse the inclusion of hummingbirds on a different level #cause the animals there r supposed to be fast #n i could imagine someone like humperdinck wanting to shoot down something small and fast #even if it doesnt really pose a danger to him like any of the other animals #but like.. jumping spiders.#idk maybe jumping spiders from florin are. bigger jsndkjs #(of course outside of this universe it is very very likely william goldman just didnt kno what a jumping spider was.#or didnt kno they were already a thing n just thought a spider that jumps sounds scary)#((oh sorry i mean mr morgenstern. of course))

Wintery Book Recommendations!

As I recall, most of the regulars to this space live in the Northern Hemisphere and are, presumably, currently quite cold. So I thought I would put together a list of cosy books to distract you as your nose runs and your glasses steam up every time you go from outdoors to indoors. Don’t need glasses yet? Just wait.

So, I'm reading William Goldman's The Princess Bride - S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure (I love this title), and I reached the page where Goldman says to write to his publisher Harcourt to ask for a copy of Westley and Buttercup's reunion down the ravine (he added in a late edition a website that, surprise surprise, doesn't work).

Anyway, I tried something.
