Hello October,

I have missed you (as much as one can miss a month at least). This year marks the return of 31 Days of Halloween, a journey I started last year which chronicles the everyday musings of this whimsical season. A new year marks new changes for this season’s passage. This year I’m working and will have less time for extravagant ventures, tho I still plan on eating myself into a sugar coma, dressing up, and seeking out all kinds of thrills. They will just be less frequent (I know, I know, try and stifle the tears). However, everyday will still be filled with something to celebrate my favorite month whether it be a story, poem, a recipe, or an adventure. With that being said, let the festivities begin :)

Day 22

Read A Book: The Picture of Dorian Gray

I first heard of the character of Dorian Gray when I was a kid and I saw the movie, "A League of Extraordinary Gentlemen." The movie was fine but what I really liked most about it, was how it used infamous characters from literature and brought them together. Years later, some friends and I were at a used bookstore, and one of them had mentioned that "Dorian Gray" was one really good book. I found a copy and decided to buy it right then and there (in a swanky cool hard copy I might add). I read the book and really liked it as well. It's a somewhat eerie and cautionary tale that at times gets your heart racing. I would recommend it if you ever get the chance. Fun fact, it's the only novels published by famed poet and author, Oscar Wilde.
