This is a very labored read for me because the character is just so unlikeable. I want to slap him and push him off a tall building and never look back. I think this will take me a while to finish.

WORTH CONSUMING!

Once I got started reading this (it took me a while – I had a book bottleneck), I couldn’t put it down. It was doubly great b/c I started it on the plane ride to New Orleans and read about half the book while I was there. The story is set in New Orleans, so I could relate to the many great references to the culture, society, and urban landscape (or decay, depending on how you view the French Quarter). Ignatious is one of the greatest characters I’ve ever met. What an ass! You hate him and are repulsed by him. And yet…you can’t stop reading. It’s like a train wreck or a a vulgar picture, you know it’s awful, but you have to watch it just a little bit longer. What a great book! This is the first Pulitzer Prize winning novel I’ve been able to finish and actually claim to like. Give it a read.

WORTH CONSUMING!

I am madly in love with this book. I would have likely consumed it all in a few days but a friend and I are reading it at the same time and I need to pace myself for her sake. I just finished chapter 7 – oh my God. When you read about Ignatius and his hot dogs, you’ll be rolling. I can’t remember the last time I laughed out loud so hard at a book. That chapter put me in a good mood all day.

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

five weeks to find the time to finish one book. thats very unlike me. confederacy of dunces was not outstanding, and for the time it took me to complete, it wasnt worth it. time because it was boring and i was busy so i only had time to read like two pages in the evenings before i fell asleep.
however, it was kinda insteresting how the plot finally came together at the end. i had wondered how all those things were gonna intertwine eventually.

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

i’ve been so busy.
and thus far, the book is not exciting! its like dull. i’m sure itll get better b/c there are these random storylines that i’m sure will come together at some point, but in the mean time i am a little bored with it and its hard to force myself to read it.
