Maybe a different one.

I recently read a bunch of Roald Dahl adult fiction. Id had them for a while but I was somewhat reluctant to get into it, since they'd been given to me by someone who's opinion I respected with the comment "its unmistakably Roald Dahl".

I assumed that even though it was for adults, Roald Dahl was a childrens writer. So I was pretty damn amazed to learn that ol' Roald could be pretty damn risque, even downright dirty when he wanted to be. His prose does that thing were it makes you literally lol.

Like his best known work, its so random, yet so compelling. But unlike his best known works, it centres around completely hyper-realistic and entirely adult and mature pursuits, and portrays a completely different side of the guy that thought up Witches, Willy Wonka and assorted BigFreakin(G)Randomness..

And now for something completely different; I recently re-read Riki Tiki Tavi and various Rudyard Kipling short fiction. Just..just awesome.
