Authors I like

 It has been ages since I have read any books. I like reading but now it is mostly with samrtphone which I am attached to. 

Anyhow, the point is I have one author who stood out amongst others. I like Roald Dahl's books. He writes children's books but I really like his simplicity of word usage. The phrases are combined of words that are used in everyday life but he has this element of eloquence in it. Danny The Champion Of The World is one of my favourites. 

I would not leave Jeff Kinney. The series of Diary of Wimpy Kids are so good. 

Both of these authors have excellent touches of humour. Here is one of my favourite quotes by Roald Dahl:

“I was glad my father was an eye-smiler. It meant he never gave me a fake smile because it’s impossible to make your eyes twinkle if you aren’t feeling twinkly yourself. A mouth-smile is different. You can fake a mouth-smile any time you want, simply by moving your lips. I’ve also learned that a real mouth-smile always has an eye-smile to go with it. So watch out, I say, when someone smiles at you but his eyes stay the same. It’s sure to be a phony.”
