Confederancy of the Dunces
« on: June 11, 2005, 09:19:25 AM »
Think I recommended this on the book forum on The Site That Must Not Be Named, but this book is on my top ten, or five, maybe three, of anything I've ever read. Only book that made me laugh out loud, even on re-reading, but it's not primarily a humorous book. It's tragi-comic with an ultimately optimistic outlook, which is sort of how I view life. Remarkable point of view from an author who comitted suicide.

Great. Might reread it again myself, for the fifth or so time. It's that good.
