The topics this book deals with are just so timeless and I think that's why it's still important today. I totally understand why it's a classic, and its definitely worth reading. It is also great if you're not used to reading classics and want to start reading them.
And beauty is a form of genius - is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts of the world, like sunlight or springtime, or the reflection in the dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has its divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it.

An intriguing account of human desire and morality, but other than that simply an enjoyable read. Oscar's wit and talent in writing makes this a really pleasant read, at times a bit serious but he sure makes up for it. Well written characters and an engaging plot, wholly a five star book.
Read this book, either for revelation or for fun, just read it. It has become a new favorite of mine.

I loved how you could try reading between the lines, find the limit between fiction and what the author was going through, try seeing beyond the censored love storykalynlarva's review against another edition
