What's the funniest book you've ever read?

It's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain for me. If I am not mistaken, is the ONLY book I have read within the comedy genre so far but I assure you, you'll surely like it.

A Confederacy of Dunces. It is the only book I have read that made me laugh out loud while reading.

I would have to say F on tests! It is so funny what some people do on their tests!!

No Touch Monkey, & Job Hopper: The Checkered Career of a Down-Market Dilettante, both of which are by Ayun Halliday, never fail to cheer me up. The prior is a travel memoir, the latter is about all the terrible jobs you take on while working your way through college (or young adulthood). They're books I end up gifting a lot, and I have yet to give someone a copy that didn't love them.

Anything by Christopher Moore. And John Dies At the End by David Wong was great, too. John Connelly's Gates of Hell was humorous as well.

It may be Drums, girls, and Dangerous Pie. I also find John Green funny

Probably 'Wallbanger by Alice Clayton'.
I found myself giggling so much when I read it that my sisters kept banging on our bedroom wall telling me to be quiet.

Absurdistan by Gary Shteyngart - I loved this book!

He was supposed to be a guest speaker at this New Yorker Festival but then his WIFE HAD A BABY and he couldn't attend - so Juno Diaz spoke instead, which was also of course awesome but not Gary

Also How To Be Black by Baratunde Thurston. Much laughing aloud.

I hate Tom Sawyer and Mark Twain overall. I didn't find it in the least bit funny (goes to show you about taste I guess).

Funniest book I've read without it being a Joke Book has to be The Importance of Being Earnest or A Woman of no Importance (both by Wilde).

Also unexpectedly funny are Jane Austen's books (there is a tongue and cheek about them).

For me it would be Going Vintage by Lindsay Leavitt. Just reading about today's teenager trying to live in the sixties had me on stitches!

Honestly, I loved The Princess Diaries series (movies were great too!). I also have some sentimental attachment to them....they were a part of my childhood and I absolutely loved reading them, they were so fun and hilarious and laugh-out-loud kind of books!

[Indhira_Me]

Funniest by far were the few book that I have read written by Sophie Kinsella. Hilarious! I literally was laughing most of time while reading her stories.

My Horizontal Life by Chelsea Handler

Douglas Adams of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Once spoke to him on a NPR radio station call-in show. He will be missed.

Woody Allen, Side Effects...
