Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed this...kinda, I think...but I'm not sure I can entirely say why. It has a wry wit rather than being LOL funny. The MC is despicable - racist, sexist, homophobic & misogynistic - and seemingly unaware of his loathsomeness. The premise is intriguing and, embarrassingly, I read the first few pages thinking it was non-fiction! It's all rather ridiculous & a little pointless but entertaining, I guess.

Current read. Nice cover.

*CULT CLASSIC ALERT*
Originally published in 1983, this recently reissued novel has been hailed by many of the great and the good as one of the funniest books ever. You know, they‘re not wrong. It‘s hysterical, rude, subversive, and vastly entertaining. Never has the life of a history academic looked so, er, interesting. Highly recommended!
