I am admittedly mostly gushing over The Picture of Dorian Gray, which is absolutely a must read, but the other one that comes to mind is his play, The Importance of Being Earnest.
Edit: Oh, somebody else replied with it first. Well, I’m honestly stymied. I guess I haven’t read as much Wilde as I thought I had, because I’m looking at his Wikipedia page and not seeing a lot of things I know. But it turns out according to Wikipedia that Earnest is his fourth “drawing-room play”, “following Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893) and An Ideal Husband (1895)”. So, I think I’ll check those out pretty soon. I can’t imagine they would disappoint, but I guess I’ll find out.
Other than The Picture of Dorian Gray, what would you recommend?

Importance of Being Earnest is a family favorite. The film is great too
