RIP William Goldman

Netz · Nov 24, 2018

I was saddened today to learn of William Goldman's recent death. I've seen The Princess Bride so many times and have several copies of the novel - I only wish I could write such quotable lines.

Where's Miracle Max when you need him?

(Mods: I couldn't find a thread about this, which surprised me, but feel free to transport it there if there is one, or if there's a more appropriate area to post this. Thanks.)

No this is the right place, all right.

I'd read so many tributes -- Ken Levine's was pretty good -- that the thought of posting something here felt like a weak echo of what better folks had already said. Quite the talented writer.

Loved that book. Loved his writing.

So sad! There’s no telling how many lives he touched.
