I just got his other book, The Neon Bible, for Christmas, have you read it?  If so, is it as good as Confederacy? [/b]

I haven't read it...I think he wrote it when he was 15 years old. It is supposed to be pretty generic and nothing like Confederacy.

ohhhh Confederacy of Dunces is such a fine book.
 
 I just finished The Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri (excellent) and have just begun Borstal Boy by Brendan Behan

I work part-time in such a library. I'm considering writing a senior thesis about how music libraries are equiped or not equiped (mostly the latter) for the study of experimental music outside of the classical tradition (e.g. stuff covered in  The Wire).

I am half way through Please Kill Me! Which works so much better than I thought it would.
 
 I have also been trying to read James Frazers, The Golden Bough. It is a bit more brilliant than I.

It's relatively new - copyright 2001. It's out in trade paperback now - you can pick one up cheap on ebay for him if interested. It's not a graphic novel though like the Sandman series.

Really? You should give it another try sometime. I would have thought this nearly a perfect book for you.

Just finished "Broken Summers" by Henry Rollins...great read. I highly recommend that one.

Rollins' books get on my nerves after a while.  They all seem to boil down to everyone-sucks-but-me-nobody-understands-i-hate-everyone-and-everything-
 in-this-world-and-i-want-to-kill-everybody-and-i-need-more-coffee.
 
 "Get in the Van" was interesting though.
