What's the funniest book you've read?

[Lifted]

Catch-22 is the funniest.

 

[Fritzo]

Hitchhiker's Guide is a bit dated but still funny.

Bored of the Rings is worthy.

Ananthem has a few really good lines.

Hitchhikers was a life changing book for me. It shaped my sense of humor.

 

[ManyBeers]

I find Carl Hiassen's books funny.

 

[Farang]

American Psycho

so over the top, hilarious

 

[Leros]

I don't really read funny books.

I just listened to the funniest audio book ever. "Go the fuck to sleep"

Breakfast of Champions -Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
Still Life with Woodpecker -Tom Robbins
Snow Crash -Neal Stephenson

Seconding Snow Crash, really fun book.

[AstroManLuca]

I find Carl Hiassen's books funny.

Me too! Skin Tight was hilarious just for the crazy situations and characters.

 

[Bryophyte]

Anything by Tom Robbins.

 

[Bryophyte]

David Sedaris is also pretty damn funny.

 

[PrinceofWands]

Hitchhiker's Guide or something by Patrick McManus. Those two men are GENUINELY hilarious.

Wuthering Heights

I hated this book but it's regarded as one of the best books ever so I thought it was funny.

😕

 

[DirkGently1]

Dirk Gently books >>> Hitchhiker's guide

Agreed.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

Wuthering Heights

I hated this book but it's regarded as one of the best books ever so I thought it was funny.

I'm confused. Wuthering Heights is up there with the likes of Jude the Obscure and Tess of the d'Urbervilles as being enormously unfunny.

I enjoy Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.

Pratchett is a very good writer in general. Even the books he wrote for children are worth reading as adult.

 

[dawp]

Not Everything Brainless is Dead

(I'm kind of biased tho, that's my son's book he self published on kindle.)

 

[dullard]

Oscar Wilde has some quite funny books (and some serious ones, so look before you buy). A few of his quotes. You have to be a little pessimistic to like him though.

PG Wodehouse has some great books too.
