Just finished reading Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. What resonated with me was Charlie's story and the struggle with poverty, and Matilda's love for reading. Roald Dahl's books always hit home. Charlie's story about wanting something but not being able to afford it really spoke to me.
Have you read something that really resonated with you?

Charlie's story about wanting something but not being able to afford it really spoke to me.
I bet a few of us experienced the same when we read that
I did
That was years ago
But now I can afford stuff I am pleased I was inspired to work hard

True! Charlie's story really hits differently when you think about how many people experienced something similar. It's nice that it also motivated you to work hard, and even better that you're in a place now where you can enjoy what you worked for.

@Ineeddentures Exactly! I think that's what makes it even more meaningful.

I remember the book "Rocky III" written by Robert E Hoban which I enjoyed a lot.

That's interesting! I haven't read Rocky the Third yet, but it's nice to hear you enjoyed it. I hope it is available in our library here so I can also read it.
