Spurious

Spurious by Lars Iyer 188 pgs.

Lars and W are a gloomy pair of philosophers who don't really have any good ideas.  They are know they lack genius and will never amount to anything so they talk about it.  A lot. And hilariously. 

For example:  
"So how fat are you now?", says W., "you must be really fat.  Are you eating at the moment?  What are you eating?"
and:
"One of us is dragging the other down, W. and I decide, but which one?  Is it him or me?  His friends say that since he's been hanging out with me, his work's really gone downhill.  People are avoiding us, says W.  They can smell failure."

We don't have this book in the collection but we DO have the follow up Dogma which I intend to read.  With friends like each other who knows what will happen to Lars and W.
