    ladedadeda, ladedadeda, what's the name of that book? <-- sorry. i was stricken by a sesame street moment.

    but there's this book about a man who's dyslexic and says things backwards. i think it might be by roald dahl, or it might just have similar illustrations as his books... but i just remembered reading it a few years ago and it was great. the main character might've had something to do with a church. and there was something about knitting. sorry i'm being pretty vague :). if anyone knows the name of this book, that'd be awesome. thanks.

    i know all those books :). i love them. but this one wasn't very fantasy-ish. it was just about an average joe who had a speech problem.

    lol this question is bothering me. so i went to search... coult it be Esio Trot ( i never really heard of that one )...

    *which, if you haven't noticed, reads 'Tortoise' backwards). Mr. Hoppy decides to win his beloved's heart, using a set of clever riddles and an army of tortoises*
