    The world would be much easier to understand if people never strived to write to this level of awful...

    Pretty sure this is altered state rambling into a phone... there are still 20% in America who can't read or write beyond a third grade level...

    Ulysses is easier to read if you read it along with a helper guide-book.

    I always recommend "Confederacy of Dunces" by Toole. Its great; kinda a rambling book as well but is easy to read and wraps up nicely (the ending that is...although the book may as well as I gift...i do not know?).

    A book about an "ideal" world where each person is promoted to the highest level of incompetence they're capable of achieving.

    One of the funniest books of all time. The book is narrated by a character who is a thoroughly incompetent fellow named Ignatius Reilly. Ignatius' POV on issues/conflicts is hilariously side splitting.

    The Peter Principle is the original source of this idea from decades ago. It explains a lot.
