    Suggest me a book that has the same absurd humor, whit, and descriptive quality as A Confederacy of Dunces.

    It's one of my favorite books, but I can't read it again just yet, it hasn't been long enough since I read it last.

    Thanks!

      I love Jonathan Lethem’s clever and vivid writing style. Especially [Fortress of Solitude](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9799.The_Fortress_of_Solitude). For absurd humor, definitely Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

      EDIT: Side note – Back in 2009 I went to musician/producer Brian Burton’s (aka Danger Mouse/Gnarles Barley/Gorillaz) house for a party and he had an entire wall filled with copies of Confederacy of Dunces for guests to take if they had never read it. It’s his favorite book.
