So I started reading A Confederacy of Dunces after my mother gave it to me last Christmas, calling it "a funny and unique experience". After slogging through 65 pages I've barely cracked a smile. Does it get any better?

I was in tears in the first 10 pages. Just give up, it's not for you
does it hit a little too close to home?
cause it does for me. but I still think it's really damn funny.
It's probably not for you. I read up to page 150, didn't really smile or laugh.

Wow, you must be utterly pathetic

The audiobook is pretty funny. The voice actor really does a great job. Give it a shot.

Yes, a audio, and not a book. If you're unable to read, you might as well consume film or similar, rather than this utter pretense.

is your mother a book cover?
I'm just happy I read it because I was able to strike up a conversation with a qt who I saw reading it in class one day.I'd give it a 6/10, was funny at parts.
