It's already been thirded. A Confederacy of Dunces still needs a third.

Please say that the Hubbard book isn't appropriate for April so we can do away with it.
I have read it and it's not a satire or funny. It's SF plain and simple. Fantastic Fiction agrees with me. http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/h/...aders-plan.htm. Overdrive also agrees. http://search.overdrive.com/ti/e9788...on-earth-ebook Let's go for WorldCat as another source that says it's just SF. http://www.worldcat.org/title/invade...=brief_results So unless someone can find a definitive source that says it's a satire, it's not and never will be.

No way in heck is it a thriller. Sorry, but they have it wrong. Have you read it? I have and it's not satire. It's not a thriller. It's just plain old science fiction.

Admit it, Jon—the complaints were a trick on your part to get The Invaders Plan fully nominated.

I'll use my last vote to third A Confederacy of Dunces. Not because any Shakespearean personage asked me to, but because it is one very, very funny book.
