child at heart

why have i not known roald dahl when i was a child? yes, i had a happy childhood. but i would have probably been happier if i read his books then. it's a good thing i'm able to read his books now :)

i was fascinated by the story of charlie and the choco factory. then, i learned that the same author who conceptualized charlie and willy wonka and the oompa loompas also created the story of matilda which i also loved when i saw it on screen. so, i searched for ways to be able to read his other books. since life is difficult nowadays, things which are not necessities should not be bought. so here's my little secret -- i borrow from the school library :D if anyone would see my library record, he/ she would notice that the number of children's books borrowed exceeds the number of math books borrowed ;) i've already read "the giraffe and the pelly and me", then, "the witches" and now, it's "fantastic mr. fox"! i just hope i'll be able to read all his works.

i just laugh at myself because these days, i always feel excited when it's bedtime because that's when i can do leisure reading. i get to enter roald dahl's world before i fall asleep ... and have sweet dreams... :)

Hey! There's nothing wrong in reading children's books! I actually like them more than grown up books! Heheheheh!

Talking about Charlie and the chocolate Factory, I just watched it on DVD and loved it. This remake is better than the original. Tim Burton is a genius.

hi jovan! :D children's books are truly great! i've just read dahl's Boy. it's about his life when he was a kid, he's actually a part of cadbury's choco testers :) that gave him the idea for charlie and the chocolate factory!
