Yep - I read it in high school and it was hilarious... Sad about the author though, I think the book my have been semi-autobiographical. It was one of only a handful of required reading in high school that I didn't hate: Catcher in the Rye, Caine Mutiny, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest are the only others I can recall that I didn't hate reading.

I went into a bookstore and asked for the funniest book they had.
They all agreed that "A confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole was the funniest thing they had ever read.

I have to admit that I am one of the tiny minority of people who read the book, and felt only sadness for the characters.
Everyone else seems to love it though...
A flaw in my psyche, I suppose.
