It's been a little while since I last saw a book thread on here, so what's everyone reading / just read? I just started A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. I'm only about 60 odd pages in, but I think I'm really going to enjoy it. I bought it on a bit of a whim, being three for two at Waterstones and always catching my eye whenever I see it. Bit of a tragic story behind it, apparently it was the only major work he did because he killed himself due to depression caused by failure to get it published. :-(
