Thinking about going as either Ignatius J. Reilly or Thomas Pynchon for Halloween. Can /lit/ talk me out of either of these?

Go as Reilly

No, I mean, how he appears in the Simpsons.

not one person will get your costume.

You could go as other philosophers though. Thomas Hobbes is fairly recognizable, at least in academic communities.

Unless you converse in very distinct circles nobody will notices who you are, at worst you might even be perceived as the guy who doesn't wear a costume.

Plus, Halloween should be scary, so at least consider going as Zizek

just go as a spooky ghost for christs sakes
