I think it's alright, if anyone questions you, say something really philosophical about it. The BFG is a great story and so is everything else by Roald Dahl. And if your on a large commercial airplane it's not like most of the people there are going to ever see you again, there are lots of people on the plane and I'm sure they could care less.
The thing about being self consious is that a lot of other people are too. So even though you are worrying about what other people think, they are also worrying about what people are thinking. But because they're too busy judging their self, they're not judging anyone.
So a lot of people won't be looking at you, they'll be busy worrying about their self -a good amount of people, not everyone Sorry if that was confusing. Have a safe flight!
Of course it's acceptable. Anything by Raold Dahl is literature, unlike that glorified toilet paper 50 Shades.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
