A Confederacy of Dunces

[fitzcarraldo]

Just finished re-reading this:  hilarious, brilliant, genius. Ignatius J. Reilly is one hell of a character. Fans? Shame about Toole huh? my valve...lol

I have been meaning to read this book for a while.  For a variety of reasons, every time it's supposed to get leant to me, something happens.  (Person moves away before we remember to keep it out of the box, brother forgets that he promised it to his sister, etc.)

Right now I'm reading The Alchemist.  (Not to make this into a thread about either "other books", or The Alchemist, though...)

Yes...  I really want to read this book.

Don't know why but I kept waiting for it to get better....and it never did. Add that to Napolean Dynamite as two that got away from me. Just read "Running With Scissors" this afternoon, pretty good but I like my reads longer and more story driven.

Cool,  Nap Dyn kicks ass as well if you see it twice it just keeps on getting better. It plays like a good record. Whoa! Rare these days (my humble opinion)   :)
Pedro kicks Dubya's ass.
