Found another interesting book by browsing WSJ Review section. Really, it's too good, I'm almost tempted to subscribe to its weekend issues only, if that's possible(vastly superior choices-lit., history- say compared to LATIMES).
The Gangs of New York, hitherto remembered by those awful unintelligible mumblings of Daniel Day-Lewis(really should watch it again, couldn't understand a word of what he said at the cinema).
----
Cela's The family of Pascual Duarte, mentioned on Treglown's book. I have a feeling it might evoke similar ambience - chiefly sensual - to the delightful movie Belle Epoque and such.
----
Balzac's another new Oxford pbk ed., The Girl with the Golden Eyes and other stories, which I discovered at the library yesterday.
----
Those should keep me busy for a while.
