The Sex Lives of Cannibals: Adrift in the Equatorial Pacific by J. Maarten Troost. Under 300 pages, and it had me laughing so hard I was crying and snorting.
@Jaxx Oh, good! Just a word of warning though, the subtitle is:The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal, and I’d say it’s about as irreverent as the title suggests. As long as that doesn’t bother you, I think (hope!) you’ll enjoy it. ?
@Zsazsu and @Ginger THANK YOU! I just finished Lamb and that book is going on my all time favorite list. I can’t say enough how much I loved it! Biff will crack me up for the rest of my life.
The Guernsey literary and Potato peel pie society. Was really lovely and really funny, with just the right amount of feels. Only a couple of hundred pages too.
The Keeper of Lost things by Ruth Hogan was also funny and uplifting and for pure humour and bizareness you can’t go wrong with The Erye affair by Jasper Fforde.
I’m about to start When Dimple Met Rishi…it’s a YA novel, but I heard it was lighthearted and funny…I need it because I’ve read some heavy books during this month ?
Ready Player One was one of the few books with practically no depressing events going on that I’ve read this year. Others that completely grabbed me but have some sad/disturbing things are: Dark Matter, The One (John Marrs), Eliza and Her Monsters, Cinder, The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender and Our Chemical Hearts. There’s this one book that I absolutely hated but a lot of people in this group seem to love, and I did read it because it’s a light, quick read: The Kiss Quotient. I could write an essay on why I don’t like that book but everyone who loves it, loves it because they’re looking for something quick and happy.
Enslaved by Ducks is hilarious. Dont recall the authors name. Or Let’s Pretend this Never Happened by Jenny Lawson. I basically read that out loud to my husband because I was dying laughing every half page.
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, but I don’t know how quick you could read his book, I loved it, read it in 3 days, of course, I had to stop for long periods of time and do other things, you know that was important for living in a home and having food to eat.
My Grandmother asked me to tell you she’s sorry

Robert Bachman I actually read it last week and LOVED it!
I miss Elsa and think about the wurse every day since. ❤️

Tepper Isn’t Going Out ?
@Rohen I’m already 50 pages in and enjoying this on my Kindle. I’m getting a lot of good chuckles out of it. Thanks!
🙂 I am glad you like it so far. Read it years ago. One of my favourites.
84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff is a lovely read about book lovers and people caring for each other in hard times.
@Ginger I was about to suggest the same book ?
Christopher Moore (not Lamb because that’s long?) or if you like British humor, P.G. Wodehouse’s Jeeves& Wooster stories are funny?
@Zsazsu Lamb was hilarious though—I almost recommended it too—that’s another one that had me crying and snorting! ????
@Ginger I did! On the train????people looked at me if I’d be a complete idiot, but I had more fun than them?
@Ginger ok, then nevermind the part about a quick read. I’ll put it on my list! ?

@Jaxx Oh, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
@Jaxx I’m truly happy that you loved! Lamb was the first book that I read from Chris and since then I buy all of his books?

@Tasha absolutely wonderful!

Wallbanger or Seduction and Snacks both are hilarious.

@Anniese me too. I’ve read 7 memoirs by people that escaped a polygamist cult in the past 2 months. I can’t stop!

@Filipa I loved Ready Player One. ?
