It's also a book highly influenced by Wilde's personal life.


Actually just finished reading this for another book group! Seems to be a popular one this year (another movie coming out, or is it just the right time for Dorian?).
It was a reread for me, and a classic that I'd definitely recommend to others. The novel can be tedious at points, but it's a very thought-provoking piece too. The characters and the ideas will stick with you, and it's worth the reread every so often to see how you've grown too. There's a reason Dorian keeps fascinating us today. And of course, lots of Wilde wordplay, very witty and very quotable.
I've a longer review too.
