I read Willy Wanka and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl next. Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl, which was copyrighted in 1975, was new when I read it. After these three books, I had filled up with Dahl's playful moods and moral perspectives.
Dahl had inspired me to read more books and learn to write. He had been a father figure to me, too. I remember guiding my moral judgments with Dahl's lessons in elementary school. These lessons lasted through the twentieth century.
My personality was sustained by Dahl's stories until I read Jaws, The Deep, and The Island by Peter Benchley. At that point, I grew up from fear. I had been soothed by Dahl for years, and frightened into adulthood by Benchley. I still do remember the comfort that I got from Dahl's books.
