Well, something to listen to on your lunch break, at least :)

Happy 3 months. Just in time for the holidays. Print versions available too for book lovers in your family. Why argue about politics when you can read the same story and then argue about what the heck happened and what the author intended. That's what I always say.

10 years ago I wrote about the making of The Princess Bride, one of my favourite films. With the death of its director, Rob Reiner, I wanted to share it again. There is no better way to remember him than with a story of true love.
