Born to Be Wilde

With a few days remaining, you still have time to finish this month's GBC selection The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. I finished this read on a train from Florence to Rome a few months ago, however while trying to recount the book this weekend to GBC P@1ge, I realized just how much I had forgotten. (I lay blame for overlooked details to the exceedingly early hour of the journey, the previous night's reading water, and the distractions of the country-side.)

There are so many quips about beauty: skin deep, eye of the beholder, a welcome guest. How do you value beauty, and for what, if anything, would you barter to keep it? Dorian Gray is worth at least one thousand words; the discussion should be quite interesting.
