Well, finding myself with a little time and being somewhat bored I have
re-created my old Confederacy of Dunces discussion list. Even if there is
never much discussion I have posted many Confederacy of Dunces links and
files there.
Interested Bananafishers are invited to join "Dunces".
A group for devotees of the book "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy
Toole.

"A green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head. The
green earflaps, full of large ears and uncut hair and the fine bristles that
grew in the ears themselves, stuck out on either side like turn signals
indicating two directions at once. Full, pursed lips protruded beneath the
bushy black mustache and, at their corners, sank into little folds filled
with disapproval and potato chip crumbs. In the shadow under the green visor
of the cap Ignatius J. Reilly's supercilious blue and yellow eyes looked
down upon the other people waiting under the clock at the D. H. Holmes
department store, studying the crowd of people for signs of bad taste in
dress. Several of the outfits, Ignatius noticed, were new enough and
expensive enough to be properly considered offenses against taste and
decency. Possession of anything new or expensive only reflected a person's
lack of theology and geometry; it could even cast doubts upon one's soul."
