Now I know.

All the pieces come together anon, and anyway it's shameful to drop out of a work of literature without seeing it through to the end.

If you're enjoying it (which I assume you are - you might not be) why not continue it? It's not like you were going to spend your time on something better. On the other hand, if you're not enjoying it, drop it and find something you do enjoy. No reason to suffer through something you do of your own free will.

I disagree. When there's so much out there to be read, literally more than you could ever hope to read in a lifetime, why waste time on something you don't enjoy? That said, in the case of Confederacy of Dunces, I agree it's worth powering through.

They only come together in the way a sitcom's various plots come together. It's not like the book starts to become more thematically resonant or anything.

It's mostly the same throughout.

How important your time must be for comedic literature to be below you.

Im not sure it's high-comedic literature though and i have published a satirical booklet. Oh yes, i am the master of comedy. Ooh yes.

And is the rank of literature like this for you? comedy > drama or something?

I actually did drop this book and I kind of feel bad, maybe I'll come back and finish it

yeah, you probably only need to read 100 pages of this. read up to the part where he sells hot dogs though, that's pretty good.
