All of these are highly recomended!
- magnanimous11 10y agoI absolutely agree with your recommendation of "A Confederacy of Dunces", but it is definitely not an Autobiography.
- andrewtbham 10y agoconfederacy of dunces is one of the funniest books i have read. should have been made into a movie by now.
