A Confederacy of Dunces A Confederacy of Dunces was the last book I read. I bought the book because I had been told that it was an interestig book and I liked it more than I expected. It tells the story of Ignatius Reilly, a man in his thirties who still lives with his mother. Both characters are eccentric. Ignatius is very lazy and is worried about modern life. He has odd political ideas, like his suppor to divine right and he managed not to work. However, a car accident caused by his drunk mother force him to get a job. He starts to work for Levy Pants. Levy Pants is a textile factory in decline. He is fired and after that he get a job as hot dog buyer. I loved the book, because it has hilarious scenes. I find Ignatiut Reilly a very well described character, similar to Quijote.
