Re: William Goldman RIP
“Adventures in the Screen Trade” might be the most enjoyable book about making movies I’ve ever read. It’s bitchy and gossipy but it’s also very focused on his craft as a screenwriter.
I loved his writing. The novel of “Princess Bride” is a glorious thing. His love of reading came through in what he did as a writer. What a talented and funny man.

Completely agree. Loved reading anything of his I could get my hands on. He gave good interviews too, was always up for a pithy quote ("nobody knows anything" etc.)
