I read this book to fulfill a requirement for a reading challenge. I would have DNF'd it if I hadn't needed to complete it for the challenge. It wasn't for me at all. I heard it was laugh out loud funny, but I don't remember even cracking a smile. I got so tired of hearing about his valve. ¡Dio...

Ignatius J. Reilly is not like anyone you have ever met. Over-educated (according to him), opinionated (his life is one big episode of schadenfreude), and celibate. He lives with his mother and has quite a cozy existence, holed up in his room and writing in his notebooks. Until his mother needs him ...

Totally agree with people who compare Ignatius to the more extreme folks in our current geek culture. He's like the ultimate internet troll, except he's not a coward. He trolls in real life and signs his real name.

I knew nothing about this book before it was recommended to me by my former roommate from when I lived in New Orleans--while we were visiting New Orleans a couple months ago. And I loved it. It's hard to explain how it's possible to love something so teeming with unlikeable characters. Though I s...
