I just finished Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis. Great book. Hilarious. Highly recommended.
The title character, James Dixon, is someone who feels he's incapable of doing his job, is constantly dealing with stupid people, makes funny faces when no one is looking, has trouble dealing with pompous asses, tries to cover his mistakes by making even bigger mistakes, and is not the best public speaker in the world. It's been awhile since I've identified so strongly with a literary character.
Which begs the question -- which literary character do you most strongly identify with?
Lucky Jim
