Re: His short stories are mostly fantastic. And creepy! Danae al'Thor Send a noteboard - 06/10/2010 01:54:37 PM
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.

Dahl? Which works in particular? *NM* Ghavrel - 06/10/2010 12:37:41 AM 169 Views
Pretty much all of them? Why, have you had bad experiences with him? *NM* Legolas - 06/10/2010 12:41:58 AM 148 Views
No, the experiences I remember were largely positive. Ghavrel - 06/10/2010 03:10:38 AM 392 Views
Oh, I meant mostly his children's books, haven't read all of his adult stuff either. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:04:56 AM 374 Views

Robert Anton Wilson, Jung, and I'm getting to be gushy over Steinbeck. Panorphaeon - 07/10/2010 06:22:40 AM 392 Views
Wodehouse, Orwell, and Douglas Adams. I'll never tire of reading and rereading their books. *NM* RandAllThor - 08/10/2010 08:18:03 PM 199 Views
I think Ted Dekker might be my favorite author now. *NM* ranagrande - 10/10/2010 01:36:08 AM 172 Views
R.A. Salvatore. I know it's absurd but his Drizzt novels get me misty, esp when his dwarves grieve. Bookwyrm - 12/10/2010 04:57:38 PM 490 Views
