I think I identified with Ignatius a little too well to tell the truth. I'm a little touchy about 30 year olds supported by their parents because they can't hold a job at the moment. I loved the language as well. The excerpts posted above reminded me of that. And one of my favorite scenes was the description of him dropping all the ungraded exams out of the window onto the protesting students heads.
