Funny and literary rarely mix. Don't feel bad, OP. Pratchet and Adams wrote some good stuff. Vonnegut is always good. He's the closest we'll ever get to a writer who wrote comedy and literary fiction. Catch-22 is good. A Confederacy of Dunces is overrated and not funny.

i, too, was once a sophomore in college

ive thought about it some more and the fact that he's still apparently doing the same schtick over a decade later is actively depressing me
