The whole thing is one long spoiler for “The Princess Bride,” both the book and the movie. Also, there’s a little bit about “Gymkata!” in there.

Links

• You can, of course, get the book and the movie from Amazon, including the 20th Anniversary Edition that apparently does exist and uses one of the best covers in the history of man. You can turn it upside down!

• This is the scene from “Gymkata!” that gets discussed. Gymnastics and fighting, together at least.

Dive through a wormhole to defend the honor of the Imperium! We discuss Lois McMaster Bujold’s Vorkosigan series of novels, which we really can’t recommend highly enough. It’s swashbuckling Sci-Fi adventure with some great characters and a big canvas. And you can read most of them for free!

A nine-minute segment of the episode (32 minutes to 41 minutes) contains spoilers for the latter part of the series, up to “Memory.” The AAC version has been demarcated with chapter breaks so you can skip the spoilers if you want. But come back for the end, after we ring the all-clear!

Links

• The entire series (except Memory) is available in digital format on the Cryoburn CD, which Baen has released for free non-commercial use. But you’ll need to Buy “Memory” for $6 when you get there.

• If you prefer delightful paper, consider starting with Cordelia’s Honor or, if you want to do what Ren did, skip the parents and go straight to Young Miles.

Our next book-club selection (we promise!) is “The Dream of Perpetual Motion” by Dexter Palmer, now in paperback! Read it and join us next time, won’t you?

The next book-club selection after that will likely be “Stories of Your Life and Others” by Ted Chiang. If you want to read ahead.
