My first “classic” read in a while and definitely my last for a while. I was familiar with the story even though this was my first read, and it was still enjoyable, once you got over the race/sex/antisemit-isms

"He grew more and more enamoured of his own beauty, more and nore interested in the corruption of his own soul"

"wondering sometimes which were the more horrible, the signs of sin or the singns of age"

• relectura 2023

Y en realidad, todo el libro le parecía contener la historia de su propia vida, escrita antes de que hubiera vivido.

Después de varios años en que no leí a dorian, finalmente me di el tiempo y hoy shit, es mucho mejor de lo que recordaba jajaja, por eso sigue siendo el clásico superior y el dark acedemia og. 
La manera en la que WIlde se burlaba de las clases superior es uff chef kiss, la verdad es que tengo mucho pero poco que decir, cuando se trata de mis libros favs mi mente siempre me dice mm no se como expresarlo, solo que quede como registro que me gusta mucho más que las veces anteriores que lo lei, y pude notar cosas que había pasado por alto (todas las referencias hoosexuales de Brasil hacia Dorian).

En sus tratos con el hombre, el Destino nunca cancelaba sus cuentas.
