A Confederacy of Dunces
By John Kennedy Toole
This dude is living at home with his mom down in the big easy. He's got a degree in English and is completely useless. BUT - he's nuts. Which makes this masterpiece so freakin' funny. The dude who wrote it never had it published. His mom actually shopped the book around and found a publisher after he had committed suicide. Sad but true. Now read this book so John Kennedy Toole's life wasn't in vain.

By Tim Dorsey
"A six-foot Rorschach pattern of blood and bone across the wall near the bathroom. Bound securely with braided rope and sitting upright in an uncomfortable motel chair was the late, luckless John Doe, his mouth covered with duct tape and eyes wide. The end of a shotgun was tied to his throat and the exit wound in the back of his neck could hold a croquet ball. His chin rested on the shotgun barrel, the only thing keeping his head propped up, and he wore a baseball cap with the Apollo 13 emblem. "
