I've picked up Down and Out in Purgatory again, and I'm also working my way through A Choice of Catastrophes by Isaac Asimov - non-fiction, the hook is that it's about all the ways the world might end, but you also learn a lot of general science and history along the way.
Yesterday, I read A Woman of No Importance, so I've now read all four of Oscar Wilde's drawing room plays. I had the impression before I started that they were all comedies, but I'm not so sure now: Earnest is definitely a comedy, but A Woman of No Importance is more of a drama that happens to be stuffed with people saying witty things, and the other two fall somewhere in between.
