probably in my top 5 classics. this was my second time reading it - loved it even more! it’s one of those books where you stop and go ooh that’s such a good line every couple of pages.

put me in a reading slump. came in with expectations that were far too high and the info that oscar wilde was kinda a misogynistic prick so... ruined it a bit. still a really solid book with great quotes, it just didn't really grip me idk sorryyyy!!
