I am looking for a new humor author to read. I've cleaned out Dave Barry, and don't know who to start next. I've read the books by Drew Carey and Tim Allen. Now I'm looking for someone that writes more than just one book, and is really funny! (I don't care if the humor is a litle raunchy, as long as it's funny.)

Lewis Grizzard
If you liked Dave Barry, you will probably love Lewis Grizzard.
He writes very funny literate southern humor. Slightly cynical
and quite witty.
He died young maybe 10 years ago, but he wrote lots of books.
A couple of titles I remember are,"Shoot Low, They May Be
Riding Shetlands", and "If Love Were Oil I'd Be About a
Quart Low".
You'll enjoy him. My regret is that he's not around to write some more.
Cheers!

Spike Milligan
Puckoon is the funniest book I ever read. Full of improbable characters and an involved story about the partition of Ireland.
He wrote about 6 volumes of his war memoirs starting with Adolf Hitler - my Part in his Downfall.
Wrote lots of poetry books, mostly for children but able to be enjoyed by anyone.
Finished with a series of his versions of famous books including, Moby Dick, Lady Chatterly, and the Bible.
He was also the writer of the Goons radio show and the Q series on TV and is considered to be the father of british comedy and the person who inspired Peter Cook, Monty Python, the Goodies etc.

Jeff Foxworthy has The Redneck Dictionary out in print. There are 2 "volumes" I flipped through one at the book store and laughed out loud several times.

Bill Bryson, hands down. The first book I read of his was The Lost Continent. It was well-written and absolutely hilarious. If you haven't read any of his books...get started! I think you'll like him.

I basically study that to Khal & he roared with laughter, he enjoyed it. He needs to renowned why we spell the city interpreting & no longer Redding. Why there are = their & there. Why we are saying a cup of charlie, as quickly as we advise tea. He says English is quite complicated to examine & to pronounce. there are various cases when I ramble on that i see him basically watching me, & i ask your self basically how a lot of what i basically suggested did he understand? (&&& his English is quite sturdy) perhaps its my rambling, lol.
