Fuck this book. This is one of the worst fucking books I have ever read. I just got to page 100 out of 160 pages and it's taken me weeks. My fucking head hurts reading this drudging nonsense. Seriously, it makes me fucking angry and I want to burn it, my head hurts. I'm right after the part where he hides the painting in a room and then goes about his life, and it's just going on in all this detail about really irrelevant shit and I try just speed reading it, reading it out loud and scanning my eyes over the pages so I get what's going on and don't need to try that hard, except it's not fucking working and now I just feel tired and wish I could fight someone. I just want to fucking fight someone right now, that's how much this book pisses me off, it's so fucking boring. Except you know what? I have been forcing myself to read it because I just want to finish 10 books so I can complete the goodreads challenge that I set for myself at the beginning of the year, it's not fucking working though. God fucking damn it I hate this book so much, I wish there was something I could read that's actually enjoyable to read, I hate this book so fucking much and I hate Dorian Grey, he's a vapid gullible little piece of shit.

tPoDG was one of the easiest and comfiest reads i had in a while. If you seriously consider this boring, I'd reccommend you sticking to blockbuster movies and comic books

It's very easy to listen to an audiobook. I was listening to the audiobook in my bed and even though it's summer and my air conditioner is on, I felt like it was the middle of fall a day before thanks giving with a glass of apple cider.

gravity's rainbow is a much harder read than the picture of dorian gray mate

Kill yourself. I've read 60 pages in a couple hours, it's an extremely easy read and it's pretty enjoyable too. How can you struggle so much my god
