At the Community Shop this morning and found an uncensored version of The BFG, by Roald Dahl. It's my mission to get the full set of his books from charity shops.

You know how people sometimes opened their bibles at random to find particularly aposite quotes for their lives? I did it with The BFG and came up with this (page 43).

"This is a sizzling-hot muckfrumping country we is living in. Nothing grows in it except snozzcumbers."

Spot on.

@riggbeck @bookstodon Did they take that line out or something? Loved The BFG but is been a good 25 years since I've read it.

I never read it, and only recently saw the film, which made me want to read the book.
