Portuguese Irregular Verbs - Alexander McCall Smith

http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/biblio?inkey=1-9781400077083-2 : From the author of the #1 Ladies Detective Series, this is the story of Professor Dr Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld and his adventures through Europe. The only word to describe this book is "absurd." Each chapter is a self-contained story about Professor Igelfeld, author of the tome Portuguese Irregular Verbs. He is convinced of his genius and forever getting himself into uncomfortable situations caused by his over-inflated sense of importance. It is silly and ridiculous, but also a lot of fun. There are a couple more books in this series, and I definitely plan to read them.
