I don't think it matters. Maybe Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I remember really liking his autobiographies when I was in 5th grade, so you could check those out. They probably hold up a lot better than his children's books, but I haven't read anything by Dahl since 5th grade so I couldn't really tell you.

True, it's also why his writing is so good, same with Rowling. Hate filled people who managed to make kino literature that seemingly make fun of certain stereotypes and ideas until you realise the authors are more sincere about it than you thought.
If Dahl were alive today and had a Twitter account he would be hated 1000x more than Rowling or any other British celebrity.

It's true in the sense that people will like being around you and perceive you as a positive vibe and therefore categorize you as "attractive" in a way. He's of course not saying that staying positive will turn you into Henry Cavill.

True. The thing with Rowling though is that her class views are implicit and tacticly show through the way she wrights 'sufficiently magical' races, vs variations of humans.

For example, she's very clear that discriminating against 'mudbloods' is a very bad thing that only evil, arrogant and disreputable people do, and this is the kind of view she wants to present herself as having and promoting.

On the other hand, she has no issue whatsoever creating magical made up races, which have clearly innate characteristics that are undeniably distinct from normal humans, and actively mocks characters who refuse to respect these obvious distinctions as being completely natural and moreover justifying the most blatant discrimination and class divisions thought this (of course House Elves are born natural slaves silly).

For most of her life she seems to have been easily swayed by the 'vibe' of the environment she lived as as so what felt right or wrong, but recently seems to have gained a backbone and developed a much more deliberate worldview that she actively defends and I respect her for seemingly developing out of her previous unreflective naivety.

All of this is the "morality" of the liberal shopkeeper who despises everything that doesn't benefit his priggish milleau. It resents natural aristocracy because it is unfair and while despising the proles because they might take their place. Family, community and the notion of forgiveness and virtue is hogwash to Dahl, because his only values are the kind of trite, bourgeois morality that led Englishmen to accept a Paki as their PM because he plays the part of the snobby "good sort."
If you think there's anything admirable in any of the inhuman garbage he's written you are a bugman. You are all liberals.

No, this is actually true. Physiognomy is real, you can tell that people are evil by looking at them, and it isn't just ugliness.

>duhh buh
No really explain to me how this is NOT true. The human brain evolved for how long to do facial recognition? Some Harvard guys built a computer program that can look at a person's face and, controlling for race and gender, guess that person's political proclivities at a rate of nearly 70%. But the average human's ability is still well above random, meaning that you can do this too. Your instincts are more accurate than any gay rational process you could undergo to try and figure out someone's character, and it's had millions of years of testing where the penalty for failure is rape and death.
