A Confederacy Of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. An amazing and hilarious novel. Believe the hype.
(If you've ever been annoyed by neoreactionaries, you'll delight in the main character. "A king? You want a king? Boy, nobody wants a king! Ignatius, are you sure you're OK?" First noted on Metafilter. I see one neoreaction fan who classifies it as "Red Pill fiction" ...)
Counter-recommendation: I found it vastly overrated and OK at best. (Review)
