personal enjoyment rating: good âââ
I think this is a really good book and the way it discusses life and philosophizes on certain concepts was quite interesting and insightful (though intentionally flawed at times). The characters were very unlikeable and messed up and I couldn't wait for every single one of them to die (that's not criticism btw it's the whole point of the book). However, I don't think the writing is necessarily for me. I don't think it's bad by any means, I just didn't really vibe with some of it at certain points.Â

The Picture of Dorian Gray is good. I wasnât blown away by it, but the premise is solid and I was pleasantly surprised by how audaciously queer it is. I can see why itâs considered a classic. Definitely worth a read.Â
