Fatin (fatinnawaz) | 46 comments I've had this book for quite a bit now. In fact, I was at a book exhibition and I saw a beautiful copy of it, and even though I already owned a copy, I ended up buying it. Today I was playing Pictionary with a friend and her family, and the words: Dorian Gray came up. Since, I've just finished Lady Chatterley's Lover, it seems the universe has given me a sign for which book to pick up next.
Would anybody like to join me?

Darcy (drokka) I was planning on starting this book as soon as I'm done one of the one I'm reading now. I should be with you by Monday :)


Thalia (thaliaanderson) | 359 comments I read this book a couple years ago, and I LOVED it! There's one chapter that is super boring (just talking about Dorian's various favorite rugs, paitings, furniture pieces, food, etc...) but the rest of it is magnificent! I hope you like it, both of you! (:


Denise (dulcinea3) | 307 comments I read it a year or so ago, too. Great novel! Enjoy!


Alana (alanasbooks) I just read it a few months ago, so won't be reading along but will pop in as you comment on it. I hope you like it! It's heavy reading at times but it's very good.


Fatin (fatinnawaz) | 46 comments Okay D! I'll probably start it tomorrow. I'm usually a fast reader, but these days I can't seem to read too much at one time.
Alana, I'd love to talk about it as I read it!


Fatin (fatinnawaz) | 46 comments Well, I finished the book about a week ago, and I absolutely loved it! I have a habit of highlighting parts which really stick to me, and...a lot of my book is covered in highlighter ink

Darcy (drokka) I'm a bit more than mid-way through the book, and love Widle's eloquence. The slow revelation of his character as it is impacted by others and events. The fear built upon the realisation that others might see a flaw, is I believe, a story that many can relate to.
