my FAVORITE book of ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite book ever is a really good book. That's why it's my favorite book. For some time I was actually torn between The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde and And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, but overall, The Picture of Dorian Grey is my favorite book of all time (although, And Then There Were None is a close runner up). I first read it a little over a year ago when I went to visit a book store in Beijing. I was in China for around two and a half months and when I wasn't out going places and enjoying being in another country I was pretty bored. All social media was blocked and the Internet was kind of no bueno so I texted some of my friends over WeChat (this Chinese instant messaging app) and that was my only contact with the non-China world. Anyway, that didn't keep me from being bored when I was just chilling at home (mostly because I could barely talk to my friends because of the time difference between China and the US). So, when I found a book store and went to go take a look my uncle bought me a bunch of books. By a bunch, I mean like. A bunch. Overall it was around $100+ worth of books and I felt really bad because my uncle spent so much money buying me those books and I was like aadfughdgfibhvbkj omg

WELL ANYWAY one of those books was The Picture of Dorian Grey (a copy in English and a copy in Chinese since it was a package of two) and so I went home and read it later that day. I finished it the following day and omg I love that book so much

It's

a really

good

book

I'm probably going to read it again over autumn break because it's been a while, it's been like... A solid year. More than that. So because of that I can't remember all those cool little details in the book which SUCKS because I LOVE THAT BOOK!!!! And because I love that book I feel obligated to remember every single little important detail of it because it's my f a v o r i t e

Another thing I have to talk about in this blog post, though, is print reading experiences vs. digital reading experiences. Personally, I don't really like digital reading experiences. Because of that I don't do it much. I think the only books and scripts and stuff I've ever read on a digital device isssssssss

1. the Little Shop of Horrors script
2. No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai

And I only read those online because I couldn't access copies of either of them in person ://// Personally I think digital reading kind of ruins the idea of reading because books have always been in print on paper and things that you can physically hold in your hand. There's also some people that enjoy collecting books and you can't really do that with digitally copies and honestly physical copies of books are so much better than digital copies. No offense to people that like digital copies or put their hard work and effort into making digital copies of books a reality buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut

physical copies are better
