My sentences:
-Before proceeding to that bookcase, I intended to lay my hands on Shakespeare's Sonnets, but before lighting on the book, one shelf down I saw Oscar Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan; so I picked it up and read for half an hour, before leaving without remembering to buy Sonnets.
1. Is it natural/correct English to use the red words in this way?
2. How can I improve my sentences?
@WBYeats,
1. Absolutely.
2. I don't understand your question. Which sentences?
The opening sentence makes perfect sense to me.
@WBYeats,
1. Yes
2. Sentences fine.
(I wish I could write as well as you.)

Stick in a few robots or zombies or mutants to pep things up a bit.
