my all time favourite childhood author, Roald Dahl who turned 92 years old yesterday

 

 

The first book that I’ve read was Matilda, followed by George’s Marvellous Medicine, The Witches and  The BFG (which stands for Big Friendly Giant) and not forgotten, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. His other works like James and The Giant Peach, I’ve seen it in the film form on the telly once. I can’t really say which is my favourite book as I loved all of them! Each has its own peculiar attraction that had me hook on it for hours. I’ve remembered borrowing some of the titles above from my high school library and after returning it, I’ll borrowed it again some other time for re-reads. If I’m not mistaken, most of the books in my high school library has been read by me. I spent my recess, between studies periods, free periods, and after school hours at the library, scouring for good titles and reading them. Now, I am repeating the same habit with my university library, heading straight to the 3rd floor of the 2nd library, heads towards the fiction section, pick a book and settle down at the sofas to read it. I have yet to finish all the books there but I think I will, one day. Let’s just keep my fingers crossed C=

P/S: And of course, I have to thank both my mum for instilling the reading habit in me since small and my sis for introducing Roald Dahl and other various authors to me. If not for the both of them, I don’t think I’ll be who I am now. Thanx mum and sis! *hearts*
