    It’s an amazing book. Could have been a bit shorter bc Wilde had several filler pages in the novel, but all in all the book is extremely good and the social commentary is even better. Written in the 19th century and it still applies to today’s society. Eerie, scary yet intriguing at the same time.

    But it's not just Bill who's going to pay the price for rescuing Sarah from the convent. His decision will also likely doom his family business, destroy his five daughters' educational future and standing in the community, as make the whole Furlong family social outcasts. But what else could he do? He has to be able to live with himself. He's in a situation with no easy solution.

    The thing is I loved Basil’s character! He was trying to keep Dorian away from Lord Henry because he knew Lord Henry would be a bad influence on Dorian. I love this story because I’m the more shy and innocent of my friend group and they go out and drink and party and I don’t and they are constantly trying to pull me into their party lifestyle and I have several friends who are like Basil in the sense that they always tell me you don’t need to party to have fun! And they always tell me to stay innocent and not fall into the wrong crowd. I think the book is an excellent example of how the people you surround yourself with do have an impact on your life and can affect you and the more you hang around with partiers the more likely you are to slowly become one yourself! Sorry for the long comment! I just love this book 😂

    I am going to start a reading journal this year (started reading again last year) and I think I will go with one journal for a few years: - A few pages for the index - 4 pages for the yearly overview (stats, reading goals, favourite book of the year) - one page for each book I read in the year filled with stickers, starting and finishing date, author, title, quotes,... - then again the 4 pages for the new year

      sure , a thoght the idea was better put in less pages because there wass alot of filling pages with no need , so it should be shortened .. also i didnt like the charechter of dorian gray himself he was shallow .. what kind of a man gets obsesst with his look! u should be obsest with ur achivmintes .. im sorry i could go on in explaining but my english is not so advanced :( and i read the novel translated to arabic .. but im more than happy if i helped u <3@@Miaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Even and maybe especially after formal education, annotation exponentially increases engagement with a text. Wow. Just wow.

    I swear I’m not a stalker, commenting on three videos in a row! I’ve been dealing with an epic reading slump from the middle of May through to now, and it’s also an issue with audiobooks specifically? I normally read most of my books via audio but I just can’t pay attention to any right now, to the point that I’m refraining from rating books because I feel like I didn’t truly read them. It sucks! I hope May got better for you.

    Hi! I’m here because I was watching your Reading Journal video and you mentioned The Deep and I had to hear your thoughts! I listened to it in March and loved it but I don’t think it gets enough love. Can’t wait to get myself a copy to annotate, too. Also I literally just bought myself the Tea Dragon box set as a belated birthday gift to myself and I’m 39 so you could always buy them for yourself too 😉
