What about Roald Dahl? Gots the talking animals and he's quite a good writer.

Thanks, 'The Fantastic Mr. Fox' is now on the list.

Pity the people who have only seen the movies of his work. None of them do his books justice.

The original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a classic, to be sure, but he helped write the script and authorized the changes, but still was unsatisfied by it and vowed to never work with film makers again. Which is a bit sad, since the sequel was even better.

James and the Giant Peach is beautifully animated, but that's all it has going for it. That travesty cut out some of the best parts.

The Matilda movie is a train wreck.

The Witches was a complete dumpster fire.

I haven't seen Fantastic Mr. Fox or the BFG, but I'm sure those movies are ♥♥♥♥, too.

anyone reading actual modern literature? something written after 1970? some of these comments seem like they're just for jokes' sake.
I'm actually in-between multiple books. One other is "Thrawn Ascendancy", the first book.

unfortunately, that's not literature

I used to read Stephen King, Dale Brown, Stephan Coonts and Tom Clancy all the time. I cannot remember the last time I read fiction since 2006..

Stephen King wrote a book called "On Writing" where he laments that he isn't considered literature. So, even King knows he isn't literature. Neither is Brown, Coonts or Clancy. Those are all trade writers.

The Mammoth Book of Mindblowing SF, edited by Mike Ashley. In the middle of a short story by Michael Moorcock where humans landed generations ago and now dwell on a giant grasshopper in space. Yes, you heard it right.

They settled in the eyes. So far the planet is not sentient but there's some foreshadowing. Right now the protagonist is on a roadtrip across the eye-lands chasing down his alien mentor (grasshopper in disguise?). Yeah, all in about 4 out of 8 pages. Already the protagonist had picked up a companion in the shape of a child-like avatar after the original inhabitant killed her own memories and personality with a drug.

Can't wait to see what the other 4 pages hold.

Fuuuuuuuu.....

By the time you learn a characters name they're dead and it's 20,000 years later.

There's 7 books in the series (not counting the posthumous ones). The prequels are even better, IMO.

Black Cats and April Fools
By Harry Oliver

It's based on superstition and it's origins. An easy but fun read.

Big fan of that series.

I would read 100 classics before I touched something modern. Classics stand the test of time. Modern is most likely a fad.

I did once, also saw the series. Remind me of Khufu.

Nope, no heavy weights. When it comes to writing, after the 70's.
