Tom Wolfe

Before I started reading "Jaywalking with the Irish", I was reading "Bonfire of the vanities" by Tom Wolfe.
Last year I read his new bestseller "I am Charlotte Simmons", which was a very hilarious yet challenging book to read. I can reccomend it to everybody who likes funny books but you have to be a bookworm, since it has 770 pages!!!.
Anyway, this other book, Bonfires of the vanities, is so challenging that I already considered to give up. It's not only difficult to read but also very lengthy. The plot, though, sounds interesting. A wealthy man working in the wall street, considers himself as "master of the universe" and is absolutely full of himself. But then he gets lost in the getthos of the Bronx and he runs over a black man and his whole life changes in a few seconds. So it's about the clash of the very rich and the very poor in New York.
Well, I intend to continue perhaps in the easter holidays when I'll have more time. Tell you more about it then.
