I read a book!

I finished Confederacy of Dunces. The story about the author, his young death, his only book, etc seemed hype. It was OK, but not great in any way. The main character was a annoying, flamboyant, know-it-all. In my head, I was imagining a very fat Mr. Smith from Lost in Space. Devious and perhaps delusional, causing problems for everyone else. The ending was completely unsatisfying as you wanted to see him fail gloriously. 

OK Yeti, what are your thoughts?
