"The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde could be a good read for those who enjoy exploring the corrupt nature of the human psyche and the consequences of indulging in vices. Wilde's writing style is captivating and poetic, and the plotline offers a dark and unsettling portrayal of vanity and morality. The most unique feature of this book is the premise of a portrait aging instead of the person, highlighting the societal obsession with physical beauty and its fleeting nature. Overall, this classic novel is a must-read for those who appreciate thought-provoking literature with a touch of the macabre.
