It's weird how, when you start to read the novel, you like Ignatius, you think he's funny, and then, slowly, you start to hate him, because he's such a prick, and he's mean to everyone around him. You want to like him, but you can't. But when you reach the end of the novel, it's even worse: you start to empathize with him. You understand his struggle, his hateful behaviour towards the world around him.
I feel really weird about Ignatius. I often see him in my daily behaviour and I immediately get scared, I'm afraid I'm slowly becoming like him.
Thoughts on that character?

Nothing of worth has been written in the last 800 years and Ignatius sheds light on that fact. That reason alone is enough to admire him.

I'm the first post anon. Ignatius made me read and enjoy Boetius. That alone justified reading A Confederacy.

He's not mean in a malicious way, he's an extreme example of someone not fitting in, so his behavior seems rude. In fact I think a lot of his behavior is well intentioned, but somehow always fails to manifest in a way that would actually help others.

It was the opposite for me.
I didn't like him at first, I thought he was funny but inmature. But after the first page in his diary where I could see the world from his point of view I felt in love with him.
