The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
4.0
March Classic Novel Pick
4.5⭐️
Ate! This! Up!
Little personal back story behind this book; I, the self-proclaimed Queen of Procrastination, left not one but TWO books unread until the night before my University English final. Thankfully, one of them was The Picture of Dorian Gray. I blew through it in a couple of hours and thought to myself “damn I’ve got this is in the bag.” Shoutout to Mr. Oscar Wilde for penning a masterpiece.
I guess this is technically a reread, but I’m still counting it towards my 2024 classics challenge (sue me)
"What the worm was to the corpse, his sins would be to the painted image on the canvas. They would mar its beauty and eat away its grace. They would defile it and make it shameful. And yet the thing would still live on, it would be always alive."
