The Picture of Dorian Gray
by
"This book and Don Quixote are both number one here. This book fascinated me as it was the second step in the chase of eternal youth. This is after you find the fountain and make a glutton of yourself because of it. There is always a negative to every positive and that negative isn't always pretty. Interestingly enough I named my son Dorian because of my love for this book. "

Don Quixote
by
"For me this book and The Picture of Dorian Gray are neck and neck for the top of my list of all time favorite. I agree that this book is the first great modern novel. I think everyone should be required to read this. It's a right of passage for those of us who love to read. My cousin is named for Dulcinea in a nod to the story. "
