The Picture of Dorian Grey, Oscar Wilde

I knew who he was, knew the story (sort-of) had the general idea even before league of extraordinary gentleman came out, but today I actually took the time to read it. Well technically I stole the time toread it since that's what I spent the last 2 hours or so doing at work. I love project gutenberg !!
I liked the story itself, it's a devilish idea dealing with all the possible follies of youth and the physical impact moral degradation can stamp onto your features. After a thorough examination of myself in the bathroom mirror compared to the mental picture I have of my face, I can see some signs of my past. The heaviness of my face attests to excesses in booze or food. A few scars and a slightly crooked nose do map out sordid parts of my life so far, but any of these could have been received innocently. Then again I probably would not have got the same scars if I only engaged in innocent behaviors. So all in all i'm probably still too young to really see the stamp my cynicism, or hypocrisy, or contempt has left on my face I wonder if it will show.
Just thinking.
