Thanks for the tag! Imagine my surprise when I saw Amy and hovered over it for giggles and saw it linked to my site! :-)

just when i was thinking i might be the only adult reading roald dahl! not many people know of his contributions to grown up literature, his stories are amazing. also i read the other two books too and loved everything is illuminated. we might have to start recommending books to each other :)

Christina said...

oh wow, thanks for the tag. i think i did this a while ago but the questions have changed a lot since then...

i'm a huge fan of roald dahl, huge!

Slices of Beauty... said...

Shoes and Paris, luv that too!

lesley said...

so happy to hear i'm not the only one who loves roald dahl's short stories for adults. i actually have the anthology of all of his published stories, and they are all amazing. so creative, and morbid, and hilarious.

henry sugar is my sentimental favorite, but parson's pleasure is not far behind.

and omnis... i would love some book recommendations!
