No, the experiences I remember were largely positive.

I don't recall adoring Mathilda or The BFG, although looking back on The BFG I'm remembering some things I really did like.
He wrote some stuff for adults, though, and I don't think I read much of those. I vaguely recall an autobiographical thing he wrote, and it was very interesting. Very British. He was probably my first introduction into British culture, come to think of it.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

Oh, I meant mostly his children's books, haven't read all of his adult stuff either.

Re: I am not longer a twelve-year old girl, and therefore I do not gush.

Robert Anton Wilson, Jung, and I'm getting to be gushy over Steinbeck.

Wodehouse, Orwell, and Douglas Adams. I'll never tire of reading and rereading their books. *NM*

R.A. Salvatore. I know it's absurd but his Drizzt novels get me misty, esp when his dwarves grieve.
