  Well, I read Boy last night.  I was not expecting it to be
  about himself.  It was wonderful. I loved it.  Especially
  how you could see where he got some of his ideas for
  Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  I was a bit taken aback
  by the beatings, though.  Geesh.  I mean, my school had
  paddling (and unfortunately, I was the recipient of one in
  the 7th grade but that's a whole other story and it puts me
  in a really bad light and I'd rather keep up appearances
  that I'm a sweet, quiet and caring individual so....I'll
  just leave it at that) but nothing even remotely close to
  what he went through.  Good lord.  I loved the pieces of
  the letters from home that he added.  The spelling cracked
  me up and it was cute how it would back-up what he was
  writing about.  The car wreck made me a bit wibble, though.
  But, all in all, excellent.

  Thanks for the recommendation.  BFG is next.  I've only
  read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the
  Giant Peach so it's been fun to rediscover Dahl.

  I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I
  get to the end and think, 'Well, that's not going to happen.'
