The BFG by Roald Dahl (A "Top 50 Post")
This may be the only Dahl book (WARNING: Heresy ahead!) that I really like. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory weirded me out. I never did read James and the Giant Peach. Matilda... just didn't engage me. And the Witches gives me the creeps, even today.
But the BFG had farting. In front of the Queen!
20 some-odd years after I first read it, this is the thing that still sticks with me.
So, there you are. Toilet humor. I thought it was hilarious. I think I liked the way he talked, too.
