I had no idea what this book was about at first. But this has to be the funniest book I've ever read.
Just about every chapter had me laughing out loud multiple times. ...more

Updated review: I've been trying to read this book for the past two years. Initially, it was rough. The first part (half?) of the book dances around a LOT, from character to character and situation to situation, apparently ignoring things like chronology and plot. I had taken the book in small doses to about 33% completion - I read before I go to bed, and what usually ended up happening is that the book put me to sleep before I could make any reasonable dent in progress.

The challenge was to read a book that I had started but never finished. I started reading this masterpiece first when I was in my 20’s and frankly, I didn't get it. I was certainly not as literary then as now, but I don’t think that was really the problem. It may have been part of the problem, but I think the real problem was that I didn't think the book made sense. Rather, it was written about a world that doesn't make sense. I think I believed on some level that the world ought to make sense.
