Just finnished reading Booker prize winning behemoth Peter Carey's The Illywhacker. "The funniest book of the year" quoth the Times. erm. OK, I think I missed the joke (or the point) somewhere along the line. Anyone here find it hilarious? It was good but kind of depressed me, can anyone aid my confusion?
 
Sorry, i havnt read the book, i was just posting to congratulate you on using the word 'quoth' :D

I'm not familiar with the book you named, unfortunately, but had a very similar reaction to A Confederacy of Dunces .
