Faux Matilda!

I spent my childhood life with my Grandparents (Mom's parents). My Grandpa was a teacher at a Christian High School , so being showered with books is just one of among other perks I used to boast about.
Well, I still do so today. I mean, who grew up as a 7 year old with a free access to a high school library?!*proud face.

When I was introduced to Roald Dahl's "Matilda",  (the same year when I needed to finish NH Dini's "Padang Ilalang di Belakang Rumah"- since my Grandparents always determined to introduce me to the Indonesian literature at first) I got hooked!
Psst... I still have the copy of the two mentioned books at my house in Jakarta . Rad, yes?

Anyway, this page: Unshelved that I just stumble upon has a faux (tweaked/bloopers comic) version of  "Matilda"  in it (which makes me laugh like a 7 year old) . 
I wonder if they will consider to have some of Indonesian's literature to be published there too someday... :)

Awesome Monday: Awesome People Hanging Out Together; Roald Dahl and Ernest Hemingway

Awesome Monday is a post series inspired by one amazing  tumblr  page. The idea is to make Monday less boring, less "headache maker". Both for my very self or you. Now, we have two of the most amazing writers ever lived! Whoa, Roald Dahl and Ernest Hemingway taking a stroll in London ( year 1940). Wonder what were they talking about? Yes!
