I’m looking for a funny book next. I want laugh out loud funny, but not a comedian biography.

A Dirty Job (Christopher Moore)
@Phyllis It’s on Hoopla, too! Definitely a must read soon. Thanks!
It also has a sequel! And also, anything Christopher Moore is laugh out loud funny!
The sequel is on my tbr list. Dirty Job is just a fun crazy story!
You might also like “Vinegar Girl” – short and cute.
If you’re not offended by foul language, Sh#t my dad says. Hysterical.

Fannie Flagg books. My favorite is The Whole Town’s Talking
I thought a Man Called Ove was funny but maybe I’m a little different.
@Nancy I loved this book.
The Stupidest Angel
@Chauntel Or anything by Christopher Moore!
@Jamilyn yes!!!! This book cracked me up Lol
Have you tried some of his other work? I recently finished the Serpent of Venice, sequel to Fool. There’s always a bloody ghost! xD
@Jamilyn I haven’t but my coworkers has all his books so I’m designing to be borrowing?
Any of the Stephanie Plum novels
Grandma Mazur! We all need a grandma like her.
@Becky, i love them so much. Stephanie Plum is always in trouble.
Try The Brocksport Series by Janice Earnest. It’s roll-in-the-floor funny!
@Sandy I tried finding her on Kindle and nook. How old are the books?
A year maybe? Try Amazon. That’s where I get my books.
Rest assured, I’d like an alternative, but it is what it is
and tons of authors, good authors, have discontinued less profitable venues
It’s YA, but the Georgia Nicolson series is amazing! The books are written by Louise Rennison
Kristy Greenwood books
Anything by Sophie Kinsella!
Stephanie Evanovich
Definitely Sophie Kinsella! Her books are very light and funny!
So far, “Crazy Rich Asians” by Kevin Kwan has me loling
Delia Ephron, Nora Ephron, David Sedaris.
An oldie but a goodie, published in 1898, Three Men in a Boat. Still relevant, still laugh out loud. A feel good book.

Carpet Diem by Justin Lee Anderson and A Man with One of Those Faces by Caimh McDonnell

My big sexy love ?? is hilarious. I can’t think who wrote it but I can check my kindle later x
I’m reading Trust me I’m a doctor and literally laughing out loud. I was a nurse and it resonates with me so much
@Jan, may I ask whom the author is?
@Jen Adam Kay
GOOD OMENS
The 100 year old man who climbed the window and never came back
@Madeleine I loved this book so much! ♥
Why Mummy drinks is funny.
The Stephane Plum series by Janet Evanovich
Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson x
I loved Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson. It’s a memoir, but she’s not a comedian really.
I’m listening to this now and I keep finding myself laughing hysterically!
Her second book is honestly just as funny
My husband is currently reading This Is Going To Hurt by Adam Kay and keeps laughing out loud, so may be worth a try (am going to read it when he’s finished). Also as someone mentioned above, the 100 Year Old Man. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a classic!
It depends on your sense of humour!
Toast by Nigel Slater is very funny and moving
this looks good added it
Furiously happy, A funny book about horrible things by Jenny Lawson.
Fanny Flag and Bill Bryson books are fun
Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer
Yes Man by Danny Wallace is AMAZING absolutely laugh out loud funny
Terry Pratchett. Anything by him. Recommend ‘Good Omens’ but any Discworld novel will do. You got about 42 to choose from. Also, Christopher Moore.
Essays by David Sadaris are always funny. I’d recommend When You Are Engulfed in Flames.
Early David Sedaris books are laugh out loud hilarious. I strongly recommend them. My Talk Pretty One Day is a good one but most of them are great.
One that made me lol was Owls in the Family by Farley Mowat.
I Feel Bad About My Neck, Nora Ephron. Short, funny read.
Karl pilkingtons books are good 🙂
Janet Evanovich Books are funny and Darynda Jones Books as well
Dave Barry!
Anything by Christopher Moore
A Year in the Merde (or any book) by Stephen Clarke x
Bill Brysons books, Stuart McLeans Vinyl Cafe series
Anything by Janet Evanonvitch but the Stephanie Plum series mostly.

Danny Wallace.
All of Spike Milligan’s war memoirs ?
I just read A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson and it had me laughing out loud.
Anything very PG about A Walk in the Woods? I’m wondering about using it with my teen lit group next year.
I think he usually swears? Perhaps try Common Sense media reviews
@Agatha I don’t remember any swearing. There were some colorful words, but it is researched so well. More importantly, his love for nature and especially our country really comes through. It made me think about how majestic our mountains are, but also how fragile. I loved it.
Hope never dies.
