I love that book, it's one of the few that has ever made me laugh out loud. Did you ever read "The Neon Bible" that he wrote when he was about 16? The world lost a great talent when he committed suicide.

Yeah, I read it. I think I lost my copy. Ignatius J. Reilly would have certainly made a terrific monk in the Middle Ages. Poor guy was just cast into the wrong time of history.

I just started it recently, love it so far. I'm like 1/3 of the way into it.
