Garlic and sapphires by Ruth Reichl.

As the New York Times's restaurant critic for most of the 1990s, Reichl was determined to review the "true" nature of each restaurant she visited, so she often dined incognito--each chapter of her book highlights a new disguise, a different restaurant (including the original reviews from the Times), and a fresh culinary adventure.

Answer 3

The Fourth Hand by John Irving is downright hilarious at times. Also any book by Nick Hornby is really funny; he wrote "About a Boy," so if you liked that movie you will like his books. And the best (I think) is David Sedaris. He has written a series of memoirs which are sooo funny- I liked "Me Talk Pretty One Day" the best.

Answer 4

A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. Hilarious account of his travels on the Appalachian Trail.
The World According to Garp by John Irving (older novel, but very funny still), as are some of his other early books

These made me laugh so hard I had to stop reading. And yes, humor is very personal and subjective, so they might not have the same effect on you.

I've always been a fan of the Georgia Nicolson series by Louise Rennison too. The first one is Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging.
