I haven’t done a Sunday Salon post in a while, but that’s just because I was lazy. I wasn’t even going to do one today, except that I just found out it’s Roald Dahl Day!
Roald Dahl is one of my very favorite authors. I’ve only read his children’s books, but what lovely books they are: The BFG, The Witches, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (and its sequel)! And many more that I have yet to get to. My favorite of all the Dahl books I’ve read is probably The BFG, though Matilda is a close second.
To celebrate Roald Dahl Day I’m going to read two Dahl books I haven’t read before: George’s Marvelous Medicine and Going Solo. Going Solo is actually nonfiction, and it’s the second part of Mr. Dahl’s autobiography. I haven’t read the first part of his autobiography (called Boy), but I’m hoping that won’t be a big problem. How are you celebrating Roald Dahl Day? What are some of your favorite Dahl books?
