Years ago the late comedian Allan Sherman wrote a pretty thick book called The Rape of the A.P.E. with A.P.E. standing for American Puritan Ethnic it was just as funny as it was informative. Well thought out and a decent read.
The late Daniel V. Gallery Rear Admiral Retired wrote a series of really funny books whose hero 'Fatso Gianinni' got into some really interesting scrapes and still came out smelling like a rose. Really funny.
The M.A.S.H. books were really funny until towards the end of the series when they became a little to comical but they were funny in the extreme.
The late actor David Niven wrote a bunch of books detailing his early days in Hollywood with pictures and commentary about a lot of the stars and directors and their antics. There is a particulaly great sequence of stories about his early days living in a house with Errol Flynn that are quite hilarious. Try any or all of them if you can find them. Happy reading.

It's a toss up for me between any Terry Pratchett books (Discworld), and Douglas Adams (I like The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul the best for pure laugh content.)

Forrest Gump. (the book is quite different from the movie)
There's a scene in the army kitchen that each line had me convulsed with laughter.
