Holy shit, the 19th-century-style takedown in the middle of pg 88. I’m speechless. Very curious about Mr. Wilde’s thoughts about women…

How is this the gayest book I’ve ever read and there aren’t any gay characters…

I’m into it. Harry is an interesting character; I think he’s my favorite as of right now. He be saying a whole lot of nonsense, but also some philosophical hard-hitting lines every once in a while. I also fear he lacks empathy in a concerning way, idk for sure yet. Also—I think Dorian is gonna die at the end??? Maybe possibly. Is it okay to make predictions in these?

I think I like it so far… I feel pretentious when I’m reading it and I can’t tell if it’s because it’s a “classic” or because the characters are acting pretentiously? Probs both. It’s very obviously well written, and the dialogue is quite captivating so I think that’s why I’m into it. I’m gonna keep reading ig
