I must say I must be the coolest person ever. Or at least close to.
I just received my Borders Shortlist (sign up at the Borders Book Webpage ) and I found out they were celebrating Roald Dahl's birthday, which is on the 13th September. And you know, that makes for a whole lot more interesting stuff in a newsletter than celebrating APEC.

F'rinstance, they listed four top Dahl books. Matilda, The Twits, The BFG and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. That's great, though I would have a hard time not squeezing in The Witches there too. I can also say I just read Esio Trot recently and I have a great image of tortoises all over a living room that is pretty darn cool.
Then there was the Wonka Quiz.
I got 100%. 10/10. I am officially a Wonka master! Unfortunately I don't win a Golden Ticket but I have my self respect and a huge ego now, even bigger than when I wrote my last post.
I can say I am one of those people who knew what Hair Toffee does and what happened to Prince Pondicherry and which flavour bar the last Golden Ticket was hidden in. I am officially Wonka Wise, Scrumptiously Sage, Chocaliciously, Scrumpliciously Cool!
This day is one I have been waiting for all my life. Joyous!

Good, you have the right Willie Wonka photo up. I loved "Matilda" and "The Witches" but couldn't bring myself to watch Johnny Depp as Wille.
I saw Johnny Depp as Willie. It was a fine rendition of the Oompa Loompa(s) in a modern, psychadelic state, but Gene Wilder will always be the original and the best Willy.
