classic literature checklist: racism✔️, classism✔️, misogyny✔️, antisemitism✔️

ignoring the blatant prejudices, this book was captivating in ways i didn’t expect whatsoever. at first, i was like damn they yap a lot, but then we got to the painting and dorian’s loss of innocence and spiral into insanity and i was like hell ya. anyway, pretty good book and vibes. 4 stars
