The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

5.0

Witty is an adjective often used to describe Oscar Wilde and upon reading The Picture of Dorian Gray, I can confirm this. The prose and dialogue are delightful, I gave up highlighting a few pages in due to the sheer abundance of insightful aphorisms. I found myself getting lost in thought at various moments throughout the day pondering the discussions between Lord Henry and Dorian on beauty, morality, life, and art. I'm not entirely sure if I have encountered a novel so thought-provoking while being an absolute pleasure to read.
