Bravo! I so adore the novel. I already promised myself to read it yet again. I also love looking up and seeing the film adaptations. I just love the dialog. Of course, Oscar Wilde is a book unto himself.

The 2009 film is amazing! It is different from the book but captures the concept so amazingly! Its definitely a favourite!

The painting from the movie. It is the one used at the end of the original 1945 film that shows the decrepit Dorian.

I’ve read it 3 times I think, and yes it’s absolutely amazing! I’ll be reading it again soon. The language and witty dialogue combined with the twists and turns makes it a really compelling read. I also enjoy the gothic elements since I’ve never been a fan of reading about everyday events. Why read about things you might experience?

That was a great novel. I had to go on an Oscar Wilde binge after it. I stopped at downloading his court trial records.

Lyrical art. The man was fabulous in his words themes. I read ‘the importance of being earnest’ not that long ago. Just a charming comedic satire of a play. hope to pick up his poetry and short stories some time in the year.
