Matthew Berry's six favorite books

Matthew Berry is the host of ESPN's Emmy Award–winning show Fantasy Football Now. His first book, Fantasy Life, profiles several hard-core devotees of fantasy sports.

One of Berry's six favorite books, as told to The Week magazine:

The Princess Bride by William Goldman

My all-time favorite book has something for everyone: romance, action, danger, revenge, justice, comedy. Goldman's novel transports you to a completely different world, but you totally buy in because he's exploring such universal themes.
