“I didn’t say I liked it. I said it fascinated me.” about sums up my feelings on this book so far. also what the FUCK does oscar wilde have against using periods ???? this book is definitely gonna lose one star for the writing style alone.

ok i’m starting to change my mind a little bit. at the beginning i genuinely could not tell whether wilde was praising or criticizing anti-intellectualism (this is my first time reading any of his work so i was going in totally blind. i literally did not even know that man was gay.) but the themes are becoming more clear and complex. im starting to appreciate the role of henry’s manologue’s more. that is all.

ok its not bad so far but it feels more like a philosophy lecture than a novel. henry goes off on tangents so often i feel like im reading an essay. so far the blending of narrative & morals is….. not good
