This Dorian Gray looks like Jared Kushner. Eww

Weird bit of historical lore: when they say "a book with a yellow cover" they mean pornography. Ye olde porn was sold in a yellow wrapper.

I can’t wait for the 2009 version. I’m so glad this is what got picked next

I love the sheer, unrelenting sourness of "sure, blame the KITTIES" lol Great vid!

I am a simple woman. I see a kitty, I press like.

I have one horrific experience regarding this book - I went to a bookstore to buy it in English (not a native speaker, you see), and asked an attendant where I could find it in the huge store. She looked at me with quite an empty expression and asked me "That's by Dickens, right?" Needless to say I took the book and ran for the hills, never visiting the store again. 🙄

I hope this means you'll review the one you previewed too?

Wow, I never realized how close the story is to Faust in its plot beats.

So are you going to do the 2009 version too?

Interesting, I had completely forgotten/missed any direct misogyny when I read this as a teenager. I guess it just came across as snarky dialogue by characters whose default setting was snark. Plus, I felt so sympathetic for Sybill, I suppose I saw her as an obvious counterpoint to 'all women are dreadful, lol'. Would be interesting to go back and reread it now.
