The Picture of Dorian Gray // Oscar Wilde

I absolutely loved it, I enjoyed annotating a lot of things. It really captures the subject of 'decay' / 'corruption' really well since it was very realistic/humanistic as I would say it. I fucking hate lord henry, the thoughts and opinions on the book would really get you to stop and take a moment because wtf. As someone who's 20 and feels like time is going way too fast and feels afraid to grow older, this book helped me understand that 'growing old' is something natural and way beyond the physical aging of our body. It is actually my most annotated book because I really enjoyed and related to some of the thoughts and opinions.
