Just read:
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

I was first intrigued by the character of Dorian Gray because of the film - The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I liked the film so much that it became the topic of one of my English class projects. I digress. After watching, I impulsively decided to buy the book (The Picture of Dorian Gray) when I saw it on a shelf in Natio. And on my bookshelf it sat for about 5 years.

Much like the painting, my book looks older than when I first bought it! I finally finished reading it today. Passing the first part proved to be a real challenge. I even found myself skipping a lot of parts in the middle. Too many words, too little action - I guess that's a good way of describing books I DON'T like. Articles are okay for discussing ideas but to read about a philosophizing character in the middle of an increasingly interesting story isn't my cup of tea. (This blog entry sounds so... English...)
