So there are those books that we all know the title of, all know that we should read at some point if for no other reason than to have the ability to discuss the book when it comes up in casual conversation, and somehow it always comes up in casual conversation. Some of these books aren't worth reading, some are. Oh, but how to know which is which?
Let's start with just one. Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole is definitely one of those books that comes up in conversation and should be read, poured over, and cherished. The protagonist, Ignatius J. Reilly is (I'm going to say it) the BEST character in fiction. Yeah, I did it...THE BEST CHARACTER IN FICTION. He's disgusting and slovenly, he's a complete asshole, and yet somehow, you still end up loving him.
How can you say no?
Happy Reading,
Julia
