Read this because it's one of those classics, and because I generally like quotes I read from Oscar Wilde.

This book was good. Sometimes the details in certain parts just made me feel boggled down, but in the end, it was worth it to read.

first classic I have read in awhile. I enjoyed the story and talk of morality and youth. It reminded me of the life of addie larue and it had a real paranoid and egotistical feeling and I always love a Gray character. heheh

Oscar Wilde, his mind, sometimes it amazes me. This was short but every bit of it was excellent. Not a dull moment.

This book is amazing. Has some very remarkable line, lyrical. A great window into a particular part and time of British society.  

  • Happiness, pleasure or peace?
