One of my top choices, actually. I'd never even heard of it until maybe 1994, when my then-boss told me about it. I went out and bought it at lunch, and laughed until my sides hurt. It is one fabulous book. (And it makes you imagine what other wonderfulness Toole would have produced had he not offed himself.)

As a fellow so-called Gen X-er (I'll be 31 on Sept. 17), I must agree with A Confederacy of Dunces.
I have probably read that at least three times.

Another of my favorites was White Noise by Don DeLillo.

A Confederacy of Dunces is a wonderful book. It made me reconsider my stance on Moorish-American Dignity.

Ditto to "Confederacy". A previous novel of his was published after Confederacy, can't recall the name, but it was not nearly at that level.
