Beware of "A Confederacy of Dunces." A most over-rated and unfunny book. The fact that it was on the best-sellers list should be sufficient warning. Bruce Parker Penn State

A big :-( to the elitist statement:
"The fact that [A Confederacy of Dunces] was on the best-sellers
list should be sufficient warning."
-Bruce Parker, Penn State
So you think you can set yourself above the hoi polloi and generally condemn
popular taste with some smug superiority, well you're nothing but a
bimmler and a shimp to boot.
(By the way, A Confederacy of Dunces was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for
fiction, but that's almost as bad as being popular...)
