#now reading dream of the red chamber in similarly fucked way#i.e. audiobook from youtube in mandarin(because the ones from my mom's podcast app want money and the one from the library is bad quality)#while i read along with the english translation. except the good translation is currently checked out#so I'm reading the one with unlimited copies but all the names are in wade-giles and i can't tell who the fuck they're supposed to be#hence the audiobook#it's working ok but it does require active concentration on the audio and i have to read slowly#when will my copy of the better translation return from the war#shadowboxtalks#i have been trying to read this damn book for half a year and im still only like 15% through#it's my dad's favorite so i feel obligated but it's so loooooong#the good translation is on archive dot org but it's hard to read that way on my phone :(#who the hell is the prince of 'pei ching'#can't even say peking??? pei ching??? I'll kill you#I'm joking I'm just being silly
