Finished work here in Corona CA. Now home to read for the rest of the day! YAY!!

It‘s been a long time since I first read this. Happy memories.

Enjoyed reading this again. It‘s a pity Dahl didn‘t write a third volume about his living after he arrived home during the war.

So. Incredibly. Weird. And. Not. In. A. Good. Way. Unintentionally hilarious in parts, bizarre, dark, immature, and grotesque. The book has pseudo-psychological crap thrown in, there is no concept of time, multiple editorial errors and the acknowledgment at the end is obviously written by someone who doesn‘t live in the world the rest of us inhabit. Ten pages of a thank you to, among other things large bodies of water and cafés. Seriously.

😁 👍 🙏 🤘Having a mini thunderstorm here in my part of SoCal. YAY!!! 🤘

Happy Father‘s Day Da! Love you and miss you dearly. #fathersday. ❤️

It was great reading this again. Dahl had fascinating and funny stories of his own life. We should all be so fortunate.

Hating this heat. 🥵🔥🚒🏜

I‘m 16 pages in and I‘m already contemplating burning the e-reader. Just to make sure I destroy all evidence of this horrendous book. 😱😵‍💫💩🤡🧟‍♂️

I never even knew this book existed until I found it. If you‘ve only read Dahl‘s children‘s books you‘re going to find this …….different. It was an enjoyable book. Dark in places. But fun over all.

372 Pages We‘ll Never Get Back has announced we‘re reading Modelland by Tyra Banks next. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON US.

Here I go, out to sea again……

It was cool seeing Cap and Bats together. Written in the style of the forties it‘s a bit of a camp “What if” story set in the Elseworlds. It‘s retro- fun to read, but don‘t expect a deep plot here. It‘s an homage to the golden age of comics.

I would absolutely love to have this as a tattoo. To symbolize my time in California. It‘s a beautiful design. Kind of peaceful.

I really enjoyed this book. Great learning some more info about Roald Dahl. I think the Henry Sugar story was my fave.

1. I prefer horror. (I prefer non over-the-top gore types of horror.)

2. The last book that genuinely freaked me out and scared me was “Salem's Lot“, although I was ten years old at the time. My brother-in-law loaned it to me. I stayed up all night reading it. It was the first Stephen King book I ever read, and my first proper horror book.

Thank you to @BekahB for having this in her timeline and to @TheSpineView for creating it. 👍 🙂

I miss Star Trek: TNG. 😕💫☄️⭐️🔭🧬

Another Dahl book my daughter loved. 👍🏻

Hardback. But due to cost, only a book I really love or has special meaning.

1* I'm reading from SoCal, U.S.A. right now and its 6:26pm.
2* No stacks! See where circumstance leads me.
3* Snacks? Eh.
4* Nope.
5* Neither.

1* It's my Matrix handle.
2* In a comfy chair by the fire, with a pint of Smithwick's to sip. 🙃
3* Any book I read to my daughter.
4* Four/One.

1* I was born in Dublin, Ireland. (Not my hometown though, I'm a Wicklow man through and through)
2* I live in Southern California, U.S.A. right now.
3* Two sisters. One older, one younger.
4* First book I remember being read to me was “The Twits“ by my 2nd class, primary school teacher.

Thanks to @Ast_Arslan for the jpeg and idea! #EuropeansAssemble! 😁

First time reading this story. It was good. My daughter enjoyed it. The earlier Dahl books will always be my favourites. This book keeps up the Dahl tradition of madcap characters. The ‘feel of it‘ as it were is not the same as the Dahl books of my youth. But it‘s probably time that‘s giving me that impression.

This was a short enjoyable read. Never read it before. My daughter liked it too. It was the perfect length for a bedtime story.

A short story this time from Roald Dahl for my daughters bedtime story. She liked it. It‘s a re-read for me.
