During some downtime I had noticed him reading it and he told me it was considered a comedy cornerstone. Well, one day Rob thought he left his copy of the book on the subway so he bought another one. The next day he found his original copy and since he now had two, he gave one to me. The book sat in my room for almost a year before I finally decided to give it a try (I'm not an enthusiastic reader). Well, I was blown away by the book and have kept it by my side ever since. I recently moved into a new apartment in Portland, Oregon that had no internet or television. So, the only form of entertainment I had was A Confederacy of Dunces. Needless to say, reading it again gave me a great deal of insight into its impact and I decided to write this review/analysis. Ultimately, I just want as many people to read the book in the hopes that they get half as much out of it as I have.

I understand now why you love it so much. I will have to read it. Your essay on the book was phenomenal. I understand now why you love it so much. I will have to read it.
