A Confederacy of Dunces | John Kennedy Toole

just started this. hilarious from the get go. gives a great perspective of New Orleans culture, hits home for people who know the town.

Being 34 I didn't know about the Patty Hearst story. Great historical drama. I love how the reader is left to judge for themselves the consequences of her actions. It drags a little with a ton detail on her escapades, otherwise terrific.

Good times. Can be enjoyed by non sports fans as well. A story about bucking the system and pursuing what you believe in.

Killer book. The level of detail is at times enthralling and exciting, but also can be annoying. A whole chapter devoted to the band Genesis, I skipped that. A great take on the 80s in NYC.

I loved this book. It is a great source of history, while also being written in an entertaining novel style. The book is about the sinking of the Lusitania. The history includes the background of countless people and their belongings who got on the boat and some who actually never made it on. The writer did a huge amount of research and I feel so honored to be able to take the journey.
