A big :-( to the elitist statement:

    "The fact that [A Confederacy of Dunces] was on the best-sellers
    list should be sufficient warning."
	-Bruce Parker, Penn State

So you think you can set yourself above the hoi polloi and generally condemn
popular taste with some smug superiority, well you're nothing but a
bimmler and a shimp to boot.

(By the way, A Confederacy of Dunces was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for
fiction, but that's almost as bad as being popular...)
