Are you expecting us to tell you what the fuck to do. It's not like he's written thousands of books. You like fiction? Read his only novel, read his Being Earnest, and then check his other shit

You can buy ONE book and get all of the fiction he's ever written in his gay life.

OP here I've decided I'll read Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories (collection of short stories), his full works for stage sin it appears it's only about 400 pages long, then Portrait and finally De Profundis, see what's all the fuzz about (I understood it was a poem?)

Am I pleb for preferring An Ideal Husband and Lady Windermere's Fan over Importance of Being Earnest? I just didn't like how in act 3 of Earnest everyone turns out to be fucking related to each other and it shattered my suspension of disbelief

Did he steal the manuscript for PDG from someone else?
"Each man lived his own life and paid his own price for living it. The only pity was one had to pay so often for a single fault." Tell me that doesn't give you feels.
