I finally finished
John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces. It's a hilarious book and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading. It wasn't published until 1980, after Toole's suicide in 1969. It won the Pulitzer in 1981. There are tons of hilarious excerpts that I would love to put in here, but I can't find any online and don't want to fish back through the book. So I'll just give you the quote that is the book's epigraph:
"When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him." - Jonathon Swift
So if you feel that you are constantly surrounded by a bunch of morons, it could mean that you are a genius. Or one of my co-workers.
