That would be a choice between Gulliver's Travels and Catch 22 - however the best satirical essays I ever read were written by Juvenal in the late first - early second centuries CE - and they are the funniest things I ever read. Pax - C.

I know that these aren't novels, but my favorite satire pieces are Mark Twain's short stories. They're humorous in their own right and satirical as well. I would definitely recommend reading an anthology of his short stories.

Depends on what is being satirised, and whether you think it should be funny as well. Here's a few:
Catch22 (The US Army)
Pride & Prejudice (18th Century society)
The Barchester Chronicles (The 19th Century Church)
Scoop (Newspapers in the 1930s)
But there is loads more.

I like George Orwell's Animal Farm. Mark Twain is also good.

I haven't read many. However I did enjoy the somewhat crude, Modern Manners. This book was written by P.J. O'Rouke (spelling?).
