Amendment


A correction to my last post about what I'm reading this summer. I started reading A Confederacy of Dunces and am completely engrossed.

The main character, Ignasius Reilly, is just like that guy that we all knew, or know, in high school who is a total slob, carrying all of his worldly processions in his duffel bag. This guy is a total disastrous mess, and hilarity ensues.

A friend of mine is planning on writing a book about the author, John Kennedy Toole. No Kidding! I know a writer!

I am not reading the anniversary edition which is pictured. That is a little unfortunate because I would like to read Andrei Codrescu's introduction, as I am a big fan. Mr. Codrescu is also editor of, I should note, Exquisite Corpse.
