Reminiscing on my reading history, i remembered at an early age, the only author i insisted on reading was the infamous RONALD DAHL. He was my childhood hero. I adored his writing for children. Got to admit i did not enjoy anything from Enid Blyton. I thought his writing was too bland. (Appologies to Enid Blyton fans). Because of Ronald Dahl's books, it encouraged me to read more. Books by him were the focal point and angkor of me starting to read. I used to hate books or novels for that matter. So thank you Mr Ronald Dahl. Without you, i would most probably still not read much until today. May you rest in peace. My most favourites by him were Mathilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The witches. One thing i remembered about his writing were : they were witty, not too complex or dragging. His plot was always interesting and captivating which were a page turner for me and the type where i refuse to eat, bathe or sleep until i reach the last page. (hmm.. suddenly i feel like going down to the dusty store room and dig back all his books i own and start reading it again, feeling like a little kid again.)
