Just had the book delivered today, and already so excited.

Just started reading it and it is really intriguing. Lots of classic Wilde one liners. Looking forward to finishing it next week. I believe this novel was used against Wilde in his court case.

I read it last year, loved it. I’m reading it again now, I’ve read some of his other works and he’s one of my favorite authors.

I read this book 7 years ago, wow. In my review I say it's "without a doubt a 5 star book". I'll be honest I do doubt that now, but I don't feel inspired to re-read it so I'll trust my younger self. My sister read Dorian Gray before me and when she finished she was so excited she told me everything. I went into this book already knowing the last line, (plus all the major plotlines and some of the minor ones), an unusual experience but one that just heightened my own excitement. I loved experiencing the journey to get to that, very satisfying, last line. This is one of the first magical realism books I read, a genre I used to hate but now love.

I'm thinking of reading this as a spooky october/ november read, if anyone wants to join me.
