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...

This will probably be the most difficult book I’ve reviewed thus far, and not because of the pint of beer and two glasses of wine I had at dinner tonight…nope, it is strictly due to the fact that two days after finishing the final page of The Confederacy of Dunces I still am not sure what to think a...
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 ...
