Absolutely wild (pun intended?).  I had never read the story prior but I knew of it through cultural osmosis and the legend appearing in other media.  The origin of Dorian Gray is rather hilarious.  The homoeroticism, the scorn for hetero love and women in general, and the appreciation for art, beauty, sin, life...  There were so many lines that struck me viscerally.
