This book has some great moments. The main character reminds me of Chris Chan, if Chris was actually smart.

Reading Thoreau has gotten a couple laughs out of me. His rant about the Pharoah in Walden is pretty good. Sylvein Tesson is alright also, but he has a lot more bad than good, but again his good is funny sometimes.

I can recall having laughed at only a few distinct times reading a book but I can't remember what any of them were.
