I finished this book club book really late! :) I feel like my classics reading is paltry, so I'm glad to have this one under my belt. It was a page-turner (except for a meandering philosophical part in the middle), and besides his witticisms, I love Oscar Wilde's descriptions involving color. 
 Fun fact: while reading on my Kindle, I was able to define "macaroni" (from "He had been a macaroni of the eighteenth century") - "an 18th-century British dandy affecting Continental fashions." As in..."stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni"!! I always thought Yankee Doodle Dandy was being silly with that pasta name. Nope. It's a real thing! 
 Favorite quotes: 
 "There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution." 
 "Pleasure is Nature's test, her sign of approval. When we are happy we are always good, but when we are good we are not always happy." 
 "Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul." 
 "The aim of life is self-development. To realise one's nature perfectly--that is what each of us is here for. People are afraid of themselves, nowadays. They have forgotten the highest of all duties, the duty that one owes to one's self."
