"A Conederacy of Dunces" is one of my favorite books
of all time. In fact the first paragraph of the first
chapter is one of my favorite opening paragraphs of
all time. And it was Walker Percy, not Percy Walker,
who was instrumental in getting it published. :)
Excellent book--very funny and wonderfully written. It
is a real tragedy that John Kennedy Toole is no longer
around.

P.S. Walker Percy's novels are among my favorites as
well ...
