In the fun category, this book cannot be beat. I read it when it first came out in the 80's and re-read it recently – it has lost none of its impact three decades later. This novel won a Pulitzer Prize, but was the only work of its author. The lead character, and I do mean character, is Ignatius J. Reilly, a unkempt genius who does not fit into our non-genius world. It is hilarious, and I do hope fiction. If you are in a fed-up with the world mood, this is what you want to read.
