At Swim Two Birds by Flann O'Brien


 

This was supposed to be a funny book, but I just didn't get half of what he was talking about. Maybe because I am not Irish? It was a CHORE to get through, and I don't know why it would be on the 1000 Books to Read Before You Die List. 

It is about a student, and he writes three stories that end up intertwining with each, and his characters rebel against him. It is supposed to be a "sophisticated example of metafiction," but I just found it to be really stupid.
