Diary of a Nobody is one of those "books about nothing" that is a pleasurable read over and over. It is a diary full of nothing written by a nobody, and yet written in a style so charming and believable that it might as well be a neighbor's journal, or even your own. It is the story of an ordinary man who struggles, against friends, family, and as often as not himself, to live in quiet dignity. The book is mostly humorous with an unoffensive and healthy dose of middle-class morality mixed in. I think the 'author' of the diary is best summed up by the following quote:
"I left the room with silent dignity, but caught my foot in the mat."
