| | | I think it'd be really cool to visit his grave.
Has anyone read his essays? Are they good? Where can I find them? |

| | | Oh really? I'll have to ask about it when I go in on Thursday. All I knew they had was "the importance of being earnest and four other plays" and "the picture of dorian gray".
I can wait to get it though. I was going in to pick up a T.S. Elliot Essential Poetry book, Essiential Edgar Allan Poe, 2 H.G. Wells books, but if I knew they had that I would have gotten it instead. |

It's a bit more expensive than mine was but I bought mine about 5 years ago. |

| | | I got it from Borders Books and Music in paperback for $25. The next day I went to Barnes and Noble and they had it for $12.95 in hardback. The same exact book! So I returned the Borders one, and I'm never stepping foot in there again. |

I got one of their totes with Wilde on it, they have them with all kinds of authors.
Cyclona-I love that quote! |

I <3 Oscar. I read Neil McKenna's biography of him last year and it was fascinating. "The Secret Life of Oscar Wilde" - I highly recommend it.

| | | Oscar Wilde is my gay, dead boyfriend.
"A true friend stabs you in the front"
I live by that statement.
I board horses on my property and I got to name a foal recently, he is a dapple(spotted) gray, so I named him Dorian.
My mom went to Paris last year and gave Oscar's grave a blood red kiss for me. |
