A Confederacy of Dunces

It isn’t very often that I stray from technical reference books and SF short stories and novels. I grabbed A Confederacy of Dunces after it came up in the a book forum I read and was universally praised.

At about 60 pages in, I’m starting to agree.

As for the usual faire, I’ve also gone through these in the past few months:

Robert Charles Wilson (because I enjoyed Spin so much

John Scalzi

Joe Haldeman

The Forever War

Richard Bejtlich

The Tao of Network Security Monitoring

And lastly…

John Hodgman
