A Confederacy of Dunces

An excellent read and a good find for a book. Great character development, but through the majority of it, I questioned whether the book really had a plot. Luckily, all came together nicely in the end, answering open ended questions with very satisfying results. I recommend it to those who have not crossed paths with it. What is even more interesting than the story and the infamous character Ignatius, is the author himself and the strange parallels between his own life and the life of this incredulous man he created. Unfortunately, Toole (the author) was unable to see his work published due to his tragic suicide ten years prior.

I'm always on the lookout for a good read. Recommendations? Anyone?
