I picked it up on the assurance that it was among the funniest books ever written, but I'm 150+ pages in and I haven't laughed once.
The plot is okay but I'm carrying on mostly because of sunk cost.

Full warning only like halfway in
I think it's fuckin hilarious but I'm also exclusively reading it because it's the basis for the upcoming Nirvanna the Band movie and I'm just inserting matt and Jay into every bit
IDK I love how it portrays the impact of this oafish very self important man rippling out into the community I think it's pretty funny
IDK all the (alleged) jokes I've come across feel too mean spirited to be funny.
The bit where Reilly considers his commonalities with the black community and tries to 'unionize' the factory have my critical support, though. And while Jones feels like an unkind charicature, I do like him.
