The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

4.0

Very fun although I read the 1891 version contained and not the 1890 version which we were meant to for class and that caused me to miss a quiz question. Reminded me a lot of Citizen Kane, Gatsby, and Angels Before Man. Some day I hope to go back and read the other version just to compare and contrast but not now. I wonder why everyone pictures Dorian Grey as a brunette considering his consistently restated blondeness. Hm. My only prior knowledge of him was the very terrible movie, The League of Extraordinary Gentleman, of which I had many misconceptions such as the idea that he couldn't look at his own portrait without dying. But I don't know why I believe this considering they had Tom Sawyer in London fighting Jekkyl/Hyde for some reason. Though that does seem in character for Sawyer.
