/lit/ - Literature

I just finished reading this based on the recommendation of /lit/, and I thank you.

Post the last book you read and your opinions of it. Spoiler tag as necessary.

Pic related: I hated Ignatius, but I loved how at the end everything sort of came together. And everyone got their just deserts. Except for one person: Ignatius. I HATED Ignatius. Because even though he was well educated and made some good points about society he had no common sense, and he was a huge prick throughout the entire novel. I really wish he had been sent off to that mental hospital. He was totally delusional at points. The only things that saved the book from Ignatius were the other characters like Jones, Claude Robichaux, Lana Lee even though she was a bitch at least she got what she deserved that the end and Patrolman Mancuso. They were awesome characters. I know that in life (and in a lot of books) characters usually don't get what they deserve at the end, but the author seemed intent on making sure that every single character other than Ignatius got exactly what was coming to them at the end. I really which that bastard had gone to the asylum..

I know I used spoiler tags liberally. I didn't want to get bitched out for spoiling the novel for someone.

Just finished A Confederacy of Dunces. Fucking amazing. Just hilarious and intriguing and awesome. All of you, read it. I picked this up because someone on here posted about it, so I feel like I should pass on the word.

At the very least this is better than another thread about Dune or Finnegans Wake.
