“Dahl’s books provide wish fulfillment: You discover that you’ve been chosen for something more than your mundane life. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory caught me at an age when I felt like magic existed, and I could find a golden ticket.”↗

“This was one of the most difficult memes I’ve ever had to do. Choosing Judy Blume books was almost impossible but the whole Fudge series was my shit. Same with Beverly Cleary but we’ll go Ramona series even though Dear Mr. Henshaw profoundly affected me.”↗
