The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde

I love the play :)

Wish I had a chance to watch the play rather than merely read the play. I didn't use to think that plays were funny, but this book is really a comedy. And if you're not a book fan like me, the greatest news is the play is only 67 pages long! :)

A: Good heavens! Is marriage so demoralising as that?
L: I have had very little experience of it myself up to the present. I have only been married once. That was in consequence of a misunderstanding between myself and a young person.

B: This Mr Bunbury seems to suffer from curiously bad health.
A: Yes; poor Bunbury is a dreadful invalid.
B: Well, I must say, that I think it is high time that Mr Bunbury made up his mind whether he was going to live or to die..I should be much obliged if you would ask Mr Bunbury, from me, to be kind enough not to have a relapse on Saturday, for I rely on you to arrange my music for me.

J: I have lost both my parents.
B: To lose one parent, Mr Worthing, may be regarded as misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.

J: Cecily and Gwendolen are perfectly certain to be extremely great friends. I'll bet you anything you like that half an hour after they have met, they will be calling each other sister.
A: Women only do that when they have called each other a lot of other things first.

A: I hope tomorrow will be a fine day, Lane.
L: It never is, sir.
A: Lane, you're a perfect pessimist.
L: I do my best to give satisfaction, sir.

These are only snippets to the world of flamboyance and social follies! It's definitely not an ATAS book, highly recommended for some black, dry and somewhat realistic humour.

Our very own attempt at it:
J: I don't recall any toy shops, otherwise I'll flock there!
L: You have grown up too fast.
J: You sound nostalgic.
L: Of course. I still love doraemon, while I see my friends like boys. Love boys.
