Elie Wiesel's Night. It's an absurdist black comedy.

Funny, I found that book incredibly boring. A waste of an excellent premise.
I still hold that the first hundred pages of Moby Dick were the most hilarious I've ever read

Agreed, the start of Moby Dick is extremely comfy and also funny

I see the appeal. However, I'd find that listening to a schizo on the street for thirty minutes would do the same for me.
