A review by erikstl
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole

5.0

On an indirect recommendation from Merlin Mann (i.e., I read about it on his website), I decided to give this book a shot. I was most definitely not disappointed. Very few books that aren't autobiographies by comedians actually make me laugh out loud like this one did. The buffoonery of Ignatius Reilly, the protagonist (?) of this novel, remind me so much of the worst qualities of so many people I already know, all rolled into one.

I loved it.
