Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 2953914, member: 56"] Two unrelated books: [B]Confederacy of Dunces[/B] - John Kennedy Toole. This was internet popular for a while, but it really is brilliant, laugh out loud satire. Would have loved to have seen what else this guy would have written if he hadn't offed himself--reportedly because of lackluster reaction to his novel. [B]Shadow of the Wind [/B]- Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Good story, with a not terribly surprising end, but just beautifully written in terms of painting a picture of post Spanish Civil War Barcelona--I've heard the original Spanish version is even better in that way. Was one of those best seller type novels, which I usually avoid, but it grabbed me. [/QUOTE]
