[stylist] More nonfiction books

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi,
I read The Princess Bride for a book report in sixth grade and 
really enjoyed it.  William Goldman is a great writer.
I remember finding the introduction really interesting.  It 
basically said that the book was written by somebody named S.  S.  
Morgenstern, and he revised it to shorten it.  I thought at first 
that this was real, but my parents told me that it wasn't 
actually true and that Goldman created the whole work.

Finished Misty Copeland's My Life in Motion, and it was really 
good.  You don't have to be a dancer to appreciate this book or 
Misty's story.

Now reading As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of 
the Princess Bride, written by Cary Elwes, who also played 
Westley/Dread Pirate Roberts in the film.  This is a memoir about 
Elwes experience filming the pop-culture classic.  So far, this 
book is witty, interesting and fun, and several parts have made 
me laugh out loud.  Whether a fan of the film or not (and really, 
who isn't?) you should check this out.  And if you haven't seen 
the film, by god, get out from underneath your rock and see the 
damn film, LOL! Have fun storming the castle, grin.
