I enjoyed them both.
Though it took some time for me to understand what Dunces was about, where it was going.
And I was 18 when I read C&P… I wasn’t used to knowing whodunit in the first chapter… puzzled me as to what the book was going to be ~~about! (I’d been reading Perry Mason novels and then lots of Miss Marples. Totally trained my mind in one direction!)

I imagined the main character in, “Sidhartha,” as looking like Zippy the Pinhead because I started reading both as a freshman in college and enjoyed Zippy’s particular type of zen.

@BradyDale, I listened to it a couple years back on audiobook, but if I go for it again, i might check out the new edish!

@XX, lol! :)

I probably would have enjoyed C&P more if I’d read those books in that order :)

You know there’s a new translation (new’ish) that everyone raves about. Pevear and Volkhonsky, I think.

I tried to read it but I couldn’t stay focused. I did read it once before, in high school. It was compelling but I forgot a lot. I hated DUNCES.

To the comic: I feel like Bruno would know that if you talk to them they take it as encouragement. Even if you’re dissing them, they still take it as encouragement.
