Hi
I have another selection for next year.
Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray".
The elder man lay back and looked at him with half-closed eyes."By the way Dorian," he said after a pause," 'what does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose' --- how does the quotation run? ---'his own soul?' "
Casting conscience aside, Dorian Gray seeks pleasure and eternal youth, while his aging portrait reveals to him the horror of his self-indulgent crimes.
There's not alot I need to say about this book. A classic which speaks for any generation.
