Fucking Rosemond pissed me off everytime she came into the story

William Kennedy's Albany Trilogy never gets mentioned here. Iron weed got him the Pulitzer and the Jack Nicholson/Meryl Streep movie, but my favorite was Billy Phelan's Greatest Game. But I prefer gamblers to murderous hoboes.

Good stuff, read this a couple of months ago.
It's an eye opening look at the Victorian legal system at the time

If you finish Middlemarch, it will make you a better person. Dorothea is the purest good capable of a person.

>intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.
I recommend the following:
The Man Without Qualities
Petersburg
The Transylvania Trilogy
