Princess Bride was truly amazing. I was captivated by the story enough that I read it in one night without outside forces. But I have never read Brief History of Time.

So much for the potential Bible vs. Brief History match up. Revenge most foul!

I wonder how many people are voting based on the movie and not the book....

I know I voted Bride without having read it.

You know, I read that as "I know I voted Bible without having read it". Forgot which thread I posted this in. Revenge most foul!

Just think... the book is a million times better than the movie. Of course, I mean the Bible

I haven't read the Time book, but Princess Bride was actually pretty good. THe book and movie are different, as always, but it wasn't bad different. The book explains the holocaust cloak, but I don't ever remember wondering what it was in the movie, so that must not have been an issue. I can't remember what it was, but at one point I actually laughed out loud at the book. I'd recommend it to anyone who liked the movie.
