Having lived on another planet most of my life, I just started reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, about which I knew very little. It seems to be a stinging critique of capitalism. Haven't met the vile Mr Wonka yet, but I'm sure I'll hate him and his dubious employment practices.

No spoilers, please.

@riggbeck @bookstodon Read Matilda too. And the BFG. There's also a sequel to Charlie which is also very good.

Roald Dahl wrote so much good stuff.

@riggbeck @bookstodon I read that when I was young and I'm sure all the social commentary was over my head. That would be a good one to revisit!
