I apologize for being late in my selection, however, given the rate we are reading the selected books, I am not feeling too bad. I am choosing Oscar Wilde's book titled, "The Importance of Being Earnest." This book is also a movie (a new version with Reese Spoon-something as well as an old version). My memory for movies is poor and I don't remember the movie well, but I do remember liking this movie a lot - especially the piano part. When I discovered it was a book, I was thrilled and when I discovered it was by Wilde, I no longer questioned my decision to choose this book for book club. Wilde, although not a character to esteem, instead I find him rather repulsive, but his books are much quoted in other great literature - especially his short stories. I have read and remembered the Picture of Dorian Gray, also by Wilde. His writing is good. I believe this story will be a fun having seen and liked the movie (which I scarcely remember).
