Built of Books

apologies for my extremely long absence!
so much has happened since my last post. i won't write them all down here, but the most eventful would probably have to be the fact that my pmr exams are finally over, and after the results come out next friday, i will never have to worry about them ever again. hallelujah!

anyway, this is only going to be a short post, as i have a ton of projects to get back to, but i simply had to share this book with you.

it's called built of books: how reading defined the life of oscar wilde, and it is without a doubt the best biography i have read in my entire life. not that i've read many biographies, but don't let that deter you from picking up a copy of this book. it's beautifully written, allowing you to get a feel of what life was really like for the great mr. wilde, more like a novel than a biography, and if it were my own copy, instead of a borrowed one (it belongs to my friend-aunt), you would definitely find me with my nose buried in it more often than not. as it is, i've filled half of a notebook with passages that i simply can't allow myself to forget.
words fail me beyond this point. it's that good. so go read it, immerse yourself in the life and mind of one of the greatest writers to ever walk the face of the earth. trust me, you won't regret it.
