So we can all agree William gaddis is the funniest author of all time?

The Recognitions isn't knee-slapping funny, it's depressing funny

>the part where Stanley's mother is going insane from the trauma of losing her leg while Otto drunkenly parades around town with it
>the part where Mister Pivner loses his chance to meet his son because he's dizzy from insulin withdrawal and Otto bonds with Sinisterra instead and actually gets more out of it then he ever would have from meeting his real father
>every scene with Mister Pivner where Gaddis shits on him for being too lazy to read real books

No I've read almost all of pinecones books and more laughs can be had within the first 30 pages of j r than all his works. He averages almost a laugh a page in j r and I'm a guy who doesn't really laugh out loud from books that often. Don't get me wrong pine is really funny. I loved when mason and Dixon had to deal with the little girls.
