Can't wait for about a whole year to pass as there are about eleven months left before June! :p

Just a small test to see who is paying attention! :p

Oh you can share this delicious looking cookie with me! :D

I'm glad this was picked over Earnest, because now I can finally force myself to read them. I've been meaning to for about 2 years...

Still waiting for my copy of the stories... Should get it by the end of the week.

I started reading The Devoted Friend a while ago...it sorta reminds me of the stuff I used to read when I was still little. But somehow Wilde managed to make it more interesting.
Can't wait for the discussion :D

I just bought the big Oscar Wilde book that Barnes and Noble published (includes not only the complete short fiction but plays, poems, essays, and the Picture of Dorian Gray). I will be participating :D .

WOW!! I've been looking for a book like this FOREVER. I don't have Barnes and Noble here though, but can you tell me what is its name? Maybe I can find it in Virgin store or somewhere else!

The name is Oscar Wilde: Collected Works: Complete and Unabridged.

It is a hardcover with a picture at the top, Oscar Wilde under it, Complete and Unabridged under that, and at the bottom of the cover it lists a few of the works included (it's orange/yellow at the bottom). I can't find it anywhere on the internet. Strangely enough, it's not even on barnesandnoble.com.

Thank you for describing it to me. I'll check out the bookshops we have here, maybe I'll be lucky and find the Barnes and Noble edition. Thank you again :D

hay nosa if you find it ........please send it to me after reading it
......................LOL

Are we going to discuss these one by one? Wouldn't it be easier that way?

I've read The Happy Prince, The Nightingale and the Rose, The Selfish Giant, and The Devoted Friend so far. Can we start with those?
