A Confederacy of Dunces
John Kennedy Toole.
Best humourous book ever (IMO) keeps you laughin'. Tragicly the writer commited suicide before he ever got it published, so there is nothing more available from him than this monster.

Animal Farm is very good , shows communsim. The leader which If I remember correctly is a pig and he kinda represents Lenin, the other pig/2pigs represent Trotsky and Stalin.
Currently im reading Shakespeares: Romeo + Juliet

I was going to post saying that I'm currently reading "Rakhmaninov" by Geoffrey Norris - but it seems a little dry compared to the fruity conversation here...
It is a very boring book, actually - but conversely packed with interesting nuggets for any fan of Sergey V.

So, which Fast Show character would you be, Reed?
...it's got to be Colin Hunt - the Office Joker!
Colin considers himself a wit and an entertainer, but in truth the only person who enjoys his endless, stream-of-consciousness inanity is his rather limp colleague, Doreen.

Man, am I pissed at BBC America. They've changed their Thursday night lineup, eliminating The Young Ones completely and getting rid of half of the Monty Python. I still haven't forgiven them for Graham Norton, though, and the appeal of The Office continues to elude me (though I am starting to like the theme music).
They did do a Fawlty Towers marathon last weekend, though, so that's a big point int heir favor.
Wait, is this a literature thread? Oh, I just finished Proust's "Cities of the Plain". I'm hoping to polish off the whole of "Rememberance of Things Past" in one mad rush before I start reading anything else. Last time I only got through "The Guermantes Way" before veering off into Douglas Coupland's "Microserfs", so I'm already one book ahead.

I'm currently reading the "What are you reading?" thread on the Progressive Rock Archives forum.
(Apologies if anybody else has used this before - couldn't be bothered to read through the previous 5 pages)
