Still reading George Saunder's The Braindead Microphone.

I must be the slowest reader on earth.

I am almost done with Dear Diary by Lesley Arfin. Next up: Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. This will be the second time reading it, but this time it is for a book club. Oh man! I turned 57 and joined a book club!

Ignatius J. Reilly is one of my favorite characters of all time, whether it be book, TV, movie or real life.

Ignatius is the man of the world.

It's ok, Jacki. There are a lot of funny parts in it, but it is basically her doing commentary on select entries from her teenage diary. She also interviews a lot of people from her past, which is, at times, pretty funny. The whole beginning is slightly boring and I keep waiting for her to get on with the drugs. It's very comparable to her column in Vice.

I don't care if it's a comic. I like it, and I read a bit of it every day.

Plus, this thread needs bumping.
