This is Oscar Wilde's masterpiece. This was also my third time reading it. I always read something I didn't see before. It's the story of a handsome man who sells his soul to look forever young. However, his life of sin is reflected on a painting that Dorian soon hides away in the attic. Dorian's emotions range at the painting from indifference to horror to remorse (more like hypocrisy though). Dorian's sins start with leading a girl to suicide to more serious ones like murder. Dorian's friend Lord Henry has tons of quotes in the book. (Most of them are women-hating.) Dorian is poison leading most people who end up on his path to trouble. I wish that Oscar Wilde wrote more novels for this is a witty but cautionary tale.
