The Professor Dr. Von Igelfeld Entertainment series by Alexander McCall Smith is a farcical series about academia and follows the comical adventures of Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld, a professor determined to earn the respect he deserves from his peers. Alexander wittily lampoons the politics and folly of academic life, and readers are thoroughly entertained by the author’s gentle yet acerbic skewering of Von Igerfeld’s ego throughout the series.

It’s not necessary to read the books in order to enjoy them, but starting with Portuguese Irregular Verbs will give you a good introduction to the awkward professor at the Institute of Romantic Philology.
