That Guy by Kim Jones
Anything Janet Evanovich

Anything by Jonathan Tropper
Carrying Albert Home by Homer Hickam. A little bit of Buddy Ebsen mixed in with an alligator. Once you read it, you’ll know.
Elinor Oliphant isJust Fine
@Susan that was sort of funny
Eleanore is funny, quirky, and deep all at the same time! Definitely a great pick. I’ll be using this one when I host my bookclub next. 🙂
The 100-year-old man who climbed out the window and disappeared by Jonas Jonasson. Laugh-out-loud funny but serious enough topic to generate discussion.
The Ladies Room by Carolyn Brown was a delightful hoot,
Thank you all so much!?
The Ladies Room is so funny.
Also anything by Mary Kay Andres… Hissy Fit, Savannah Blues and others.
Becoming a Vincent by cm Owen’s is the funniest book I have ever read. My daughter also said she laughed out.
I’d go with the Rosie Project.
The Egg and I by Betty MacDonald.
Something Missing by Matthew Dicks might fit the bill. It’s quirky and funny yet will also give you lots of fodder for discussion. It was a hit with my club when it came out.
Miss Julia by Ann B Ross. Great book, great series!!
@Carol yes they are!
class mom
Vinegar Girl.
THE RIDE OF OUR LIVES (Mike Leonard) a LOL book that may very well pull @ your heartstrings too. I’d loaned my out with NO return…..usually no problem BUT Love this book so I bought it AGAIN …to keep.
That is a great book!!!
Surprise Me or Twenties Girl, both by Sophie Kinsella.
A Man Called Ove!
OOO – great book! Funny and deeply moving all at once! Lots to talk about!
The alchemist,
orphan Train,
Before we were yours,
One perfect lie
The only woman in the room
I love all these books, but not sure I’d say they were “funny”
Weird Things Customers Say in Bookstores by Jen Campbell or The Potluck Club by Linda Evans Shepherd.
Eleanor Oliphant is completely Fine
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion—laugh out loud funny!
Debbie McComber’s Christmas series book. They are about three angels coming down to help people and they get into so much trouble. Hallmark is doing Christmas once a week still so why not do Christmas in August. People don’t have time to read at Christmas so they can do it in August where they can sit back and enjoy it more.
The Best Man. Kristen Higgins
A Fannie Flagg book
Less, Britt Marie was Here, An Awkward Age, the Rosie Project
Where’d you go Bernadette, I don’t Know How She Does It, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine,The Rosie Project
Anything John Irving
Dancing on the edge of the Roof by Sheila Williams
600 Hours of Edward. By Craig Lancaster. Narrated version is awesome.
I’m adding my vote for The Rosie Project.
Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher.
Also Bossypants by Tina Fey.
Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella.
Anything by Fannie Flagg!
Years ago my book club read and LOVED Daisy Fay And The Miracle Man By Fannie Flagg. Not only is it a great summer read but you will laugh out loud!
@Veranda thanks I thought I read all of her books but I never heard of that one
100 year old man who climbed out the window . . .
I am 3/4 through reading this 100 year old man book. LOL
The 100 Year Old Man Who Jumped Out of the Window and Disappeared. Hilarious.
Louisiana Longshot! This series is so funny but each book is a stand alone.
@Brenda thanks who is the author?
@Cathy Jana DeLeon.
I love the Mattie Watson series by Annelise Ryan.
Bossypants… Tina Fey… actually it is best as an audiobook because Tina Fey is the reader so she not only reads the book but when she references some character she’s played she goes into those voices.. it’s really hilarious!!!
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
RomComs and ChickLit don’t usually make the cut. 99 Percent Mine, however, defied its genre and landed a coveted place on my 5 Star Book Club list.
