[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Confederacy of Dunces, by John Kennedy Toole. [/quote] This is far and away the worst book I have ever read and it's not the least bit funny.[/quote] You beat me to it. It's awful. Bill Bryson's early work is great, particularly "I'm a Stranger Here Myself", a compendium of a British weekly newspaper column, about coming back to live in the US after many years in Britain. I fell off my chair when reading the passage about snowmobiling through the woods, and explained what "jettisoning weight via my bladder" meant to my 8 year old. Now it's a household phrase. Equally hilarious are the passage about his experience ice-skating and the one where he carries the Christmas tree into the house. [/quote]
