Among the funniest

I count "Consider the Lillies" among the funniest books I've ever read. Some will consider the humor too juvenile, but then they probably never got Waugh senior, or Monty Python, for that matter. This book's place in my heart is close to all of Wodehouse and Amis's "Lucky Jim," just down the hall from Boyd's "Good Man in Africa" and Italo Svevo's "Confessions of Zeno," and within shouting distance of Flannery O'Connor's stories.
