The Picture of Dorian Gray is one of my favorite stories.

Oh, I love Wilde – his writing anyway. That’s what I meant, that if you started going through Wilde’s work pulling out quotes, you’d have more than enough for the whole month.
I like Dorian Gray, but I prefer the plays for pure entertainment. I got more out of Dorian Gray after taking courses that taught me the background of Victorian culture and late 19th century Decadence and Aestheticism.
