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

I don't recall adoring Mathilda or The BFG, although looking back on The BFG I'm remembering some things I really did like.
I do adore Matilda. That and The Witches are my favourites, I think, more so than the BFG.
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.
Yeah, I remember we read passages from the boarding school part of his autobiography in high school. Wasn't my first introduction into British culture, but it was quite interesting and a bit of a culture shock all the same.
Which authors do you gush over?

No, the experiences I remember were largely positive.

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.
