    I read half of Salome in Barnes and Noble...I really liked it!! I've never read his plays all the way through, but I have read parts of them. The Picture of Dorian Gray, though was amazing. I think An Ideal Husband or Salome will get my vote. Maybe the collections will get it. Time for Google!!

    I've only ever read select passages from some of his plays during AP English testing, and some in-class. I absolutely adore Wilde's style of writing, and since I can't vote I'm just happy any one of his works will be read. ^_^;

    I haven't read any. I started The Picture of Dorian Gray a few years ago, but found myself having to stop constantly to write down an interesting passage. I'm leaning towards the short stories though. I might like some and dislike others, but it shouldn't be a complete disappoinment.
    The exact same thing happened to me.... I am still in the process of reading that book and I think Oscar Wilde is awesome... I'd love to read anything that wins the poll
    My apologies for any errors in language.... I am not an ignorant, it's just that english is my second language....

    If I may recommend...I think that The Importance of Being Ernest is a GREAT read...you should try reading it even if it wasn't chosen next month

    I'll hold my vote too. I have read most of his plays, which were all brilliant, by the way.. But I guess I'll go for the short stories..

    I just put short stories in the lead.

    Uhm, I am still a few posts shy of 50, but I would have thrown my vote for the short stories
