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

Question

I mean laugh out loud funny.
As much information as possible please without giving the whole story away. Thanx. :)

Answer 1

I just read The Alphabet of Manliness by Maddox. It's pretty funny. . . but not if you get offended easily. Or at all.

Answer 2

To tell you the truth, I have been reading books since I was 5 and not one ever made me laugh like Marian Keyes. She writes with such wit and humor and uses language which is very relateable. Rachel's Holiday was one of her books which tells the story of a woman going to a drug rehab and her misadventures there are totally hilarious! Last Chance Saloon is great too because they tackle serious stuff with just the right amount of humor to not make it soooo boring. Watch out for Fintan, he delivers the best lines :-) Have a good laugh!

Answer 3

Some already know the TV Show well, reading the book takes us deeper into the story, and is just as funny because we can visualize correctly...

Mr. Monk Goes to the Firehouse, Book One

Mr. Monk Goes to Hawaii, Book Two

Product Details:

FROM THE PUBLISHER: Book One
The brand-new mystery series starring the brilliant, beloved, and slightly off-balance sleuth from the USA Network's hit show!

Monk's house is being fumigated, and he has nowhere to go. Fortunately, his assistant Natalie and her daughter are kind enough to welcome him into their home. Unfortunately, their home is not quite up to Monk's standards of cleanliness and order.

But while Monk attempts to arrange his surroundings just so, something else needs to be put straight. The death of a dog at the local firehouse-on the same night as a fatal house fire-has led Monk into a puzzling mystery. And much to his horror, he's going to have to dig through a lot of dirt to find the answer.


FROM THE PUBLISHER: Book Two
Some people think Hawaii is paradise. But Monk knows that danger -- like dirt -- lurks everywhere. Look at Helen Gruber, the rich tourist who took a fatal blow from a coconut. The police say it fell from a tree, but Monk suspects otherwise. His assistant, Natalie, isn’t exactly thrilled about Monk’s latest investigation. It was bad enough that Monk followed her on vacation, and now it looks as though the vacation is over....
Smooth-talking TV psychic Dylan Swift is on the island and claims to have a message from beyond -- from Helen Gruber. Monk has his doubts about Swift’s credibility. But finding the killer and proving Swift a fraud -- all while coping with geckos and the horror of unsynchronized ceiling fans -- may prove a tough coconut to crack....

Answer 4

As you at present hm I take excitement in a sturdy chortle and function study many humourous books in my time notwithstanding the single I loved the most became Bridget Jones's Diary by technique of Helen Fielding. I study it at the same time as on vacation many years back and became typically requested to study out the humorous bits at the same time as stuck stifling relaxing.

Answer 5

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. He explores the meaning of life and stuff in a sci-fi setting but he does it in a funny way. An average Brit hooks up with an interstellar hitchhiker who writes articles for Hitchhiker's on the side, a ditzy hippy-style galactic president, and a half-alien chic he used to know.

Answer 6

Not many...but Boy 2 Girl was the closest it came to 'funny'. This dude's American Cousin comes over from America after his mother dies (don't get put off now, its a contrast of tragedy and lolness) and then chaos ensues as he tries to fit in along with all the other politics going on his cousin's life. The book said guaranteed to make you laugh, or your money back.

Answer 7

Sweet Potato Queens by Jill Conner Brown

Answer 8

"What's Not to Love" by Johnathan Ames. Seriously the funniest book I've ever read. Hilarious!

He used to write for the NY Press about his various medical woes, since he is a hypochondriac. He's very neurotic and has all sorts of ridiculous mishaps and writes about them in a very self-deprecating and sarcastic way. They are all true stories about his life, but exaggerated a little to be funny. Some of the things you just can't believe, but they are so hilarious. Like his bout with crabs, or how his sculptor friend invented a mangina and modeled it for him and on stage during one of his readings in NY, and one of his chapters is titled "I **** my pants in the south of France".

Anyway, that is my humor, it may be out there for some people. But if it sounds like your thing too, then check it out.

Answer 9

"Blue Heaven" by Joe Keenan. It's a story about a homosexual male who marries a straight woman for the wedding presents (yes they're both social climbers). I laughed out loud several times. The writing is really witty, reminiscent of PG Wodehouse (who I also love).

Answer 10

The Stephanie Plum books -- by Janet Evanovich. She kills me.
Anything David Sedaris
"A Walk In The Woods" -- Bill Bryson -it's really interesting and informative and howlingly funny at times

Answer 11

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
