Finished The Picture of Dorian Gray. I would be lying if I didn't say I mildly enjoyed it. Oscar Wilde is one of the wittiest writers known to the English language and being his only novel I found it a gem. Sometimes the story lost me as the charcater's dialogue is largely philosophical pandering. But I see the story as a precursor to American Psycho, you have a gorgeous young man who lives in high life and does whatever he wants. I appreciated it as a Cautionary tale against Narcissim.
Now reading the book Decoded by Jay-Z. Reading it for insight to his life and the true meaning behind some of his rap lyrics. That is pretty much it as far as my summer reading goes. There were some good interesting reads. The only other book I want to read before school starts is 007 Dr. No.
Speaking of school my professor e-mailed me the list of books we will be reading this semester. A whopping ten novels in 15 weeks. I think this class will be hell.
