i'm offering this book up as one of my favorites with much confidance that 'm prolly the only one on these boards who has read it...

A Confederacy of Dunces, by John Kennedy Toole

this novel is funny, disgusting, intelligent, and mad all at the same time... i guess technically it's a comedy, but that barely scratches the surface

the main character, Ignatius J. Reilly, is has been described as "slob extraordinary, a mad Oliver Hardy, a fat Don Quixote, a perverse Thomas Aquinas rolled into one."

any of you who chat with me regularly know how twisted i can be. well, this book was the source of that in me, i believe.
