It's official. I'm giving up on a book. I rarely do not finish a book, even when I dislike it. But John Kennedy Toole's Confederacy of Dunces has undone me. Why the hell did this book win the Pultizer Prize? Some people think this book is funny??? OMB. I am not amused. Nor am I engaged. I do not care what happens to Ignatius, Miss Trixie, or any of them. Officially made it to page 252...
Second Pulitzer Prize winner that I am not understanding why it won - Richard Ford's Independence Day. At least this book was readable. I finished it. But it was underwhelming. I am not impressed.
What is wrong with the state of modern literature? or for that matter, what is wrong with Pultizer committee?
