akai kai yume. hong lou meng. red something dream. is the most boring book on earth. bleargh everyone just goes, "mei mei! jie jie!" and cry and cry. it's worse than flora chan in triumph in the skies. ahhh!! it's KILLING me. and all the names are so similar; to think i had trouble with characters who share same names in books like wuthering heights. the only speech i can write for hong lou meng is "da4 jia1 hao3. hong2 lou2 meng4 shi4 ge4 fei1 chang2 fei1 chang2 hao3 de4 shu1. yin1 wei4 you3 shi1 mian2 de4 ren2 du2 le4 yi1 ding4 hui4 zai4 hai2 mei2 kan4 wan2 yi1 ju4 de4 ren2 shui4 jiao4. suo3 yi3 wo3 yao4 jie4 shao4 zhe4 ben3 shu1. fei1 chang2 you3 xiao4. bao3 zheng4 yi1 ding4 shui4 jiao4!"

"FEI CHANG YOU XIAO, BAO ZHENG YI DING SHUI JIAO!"
