Well I only read Dorian Gray but I really liked it (except from the chapter about carpets and curtains).

Wilde was not as witty as Whistler or Shaw.

That's not hard to believe. I've rarely seen his plays performed with any competent actors. But on their own, they're wonderfully written plays. I haven't read much of his non-theatrical material, but I'm thinking I should. He has a wit that is sadly missing at this point in time.

I work around the corner from the house he was rared in. Haven't read any of his stuff, but a chap I used to work with was a big fan, and would kneel and worship the place any time we were on the piss and passed by it.
Some of his quotes are very good alright.

Oscar Wilde is Irish, not British. Dorian Gray is a great read; well recommended.

I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers.

Half-Ireland is part of the Great Britain isn't it. Wilde spent most of his time in England where he was considered as local writer and poseur. Then he is British.

I was born in Corsica but I left that backwater to move to France. I live my life here now. Then I am French... and by extention British as I am waiting for our Lord's Coronation....

Honi soit qui mal y pense...
