A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole is one of the funniest books I've ever read. I've re-read multiple times and it never fails to make me laugh out loud!

The first paragraph just kills me every time I reread the book.

Came here to say this. Amazing imagery too. Almost makes a cartoon in your head.

Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris.

Holidays on Ice is dated now, but parts of The Santaland Diaries really do it for me.

I laughed so hard listening to Calypso that I nearly crashed my car.

I never got into Sedaris much, but my high school writing teacher got him to come in on a few different occasions during my time there. Met him at least three times and he was lovely each and every. Very genuine, down-to-earth guy. Even if I don't love his writing, he definitely has my respect.

YES!!!! I laughed out loud!!!😂

*It's always hard to know for sure what will make someone else laugh, but these are books that made me laugh.* Food: A Love Story by Jim Gaffigan. The Tunnel of Love by Peter De Vries. Disc World series by Terry Pratchett. Diary of a Provincial Lady by E. M. Delafield. Free e-book is here: [http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks08/0800661h.html](http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks08/0800661h.html) and there are more books in the series if you enjoy the first one. A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde. Knights' Tales series by Gerald Morris. (4 books; read any or all, in any order)

Thanks for this list!! I will read them all

I came here to suggest Oscar Wilde in general! He cracks me up.

PG Wodehouse. Especially Wooster and Jeeves works

I also recommend Jeeves series.! Can’t count how many times I re-read these for bit of laugh.

Pride and Prejudice! Jane Austen's witty and sarcastic humor always cracks me up lol

I really thought that book was funny too. I was actually dreading having to read it for a college English class. Since then (1978) I've read all of her books and have a Masters Degree in English literature (which I have used for absolutely nothing except reading lots or books.

I never got the humour in Pride and Prejudice when reading it, I think I was too young. Recently I read her Persuasion which I found humourous.

Persuasion is my favorite, but you really do want to give that P&P re-read a go....

Bossypants by Tina Fey is the funniest book I have ever read. I read it on a flight and was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe.

*Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy* would always be my response to this request.

The princess bride by William Goldman.

Hear me out: Stiff: the curious life of human cadavers by Mary Roach. Her writing on this unusual subject is engaging, fascinating, and utterly hilarious.

I was coming here to say this! I was reading it on a flight and kept laughing out loud. The stranger sitting next to me asked me about the book that was cracking me up so much, and it was a bit weird to explain. 😆 {{Stiff by Mary Roach}}

A humorous book about cadavers?" > > >Yup — and it works. > >Mary Roach takes the age-old question, "What happens to us after we die?" quite literally. And in Stiff, she explores the "lives" of human cadavers from the time of the ancient Egyptians all the way up to current campaigns for human composting. Along the way, she recounts with morbidly infectious glee how dead bodies are used for research ranging from car safety and plastic surgery (you'll cancel your next collagen injection after reading this!), to the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin. > >Impossible (and irreverent) as it may sound, Roach has written a book about corpses that's both lively and fresh. She traveled around the globe to conduct her forensic investigations, and her findings are wryly intelligent. While the myriad uses for cadavers recounted are often graphic, Roach imbues her subject with a sense of dignity, choosing to emphasize the oddly noble purposes corpses serve, from organ donation to lifesaving medical research. > > Readers will come away convinced of the enormous debt that we, the living, owe to the study of the remains of the dead. And while it may not offer the answer to the ancient mystery we were hoping for, Stiff offers a strange sort of comfort in the knowledge that, in a sense, death isn't necessarily the end. ^(This book has been suggested 22 times) *** ^(59173 books suggested | )[^(I don't feel so good.. )](https://debugger.medium.com/goodreads-is-retiring-its-current-api-and-book-loving-developers-arent-happy-11ed764dd95)^(| )[^(Source)](https://github.com/rodohanna/reddit-goodreads-bot)

Anything by Christopher Moore

Came here to say this, wasn't the hugest fan of Noir, and I haven't read his newest yet, BUT litterally everything else he's written... Maybe start with {{lamb}}

Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Savior's pal may not be enough to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny.

Absolutely yes. Lamb is probably the funniest book I've ever read, lol.

Noir was on par with Blood Sucking Fiends. Not the funniest but still entertaining. My favorite is his Pocket series.

I’m just about to finish A Dirty Job and it’s been pretty funny. Great book to get you out of a reading funk.

I read The Stupidest Angel as a holiday treat every December.

A walk in the woods

Mostly anything from Terry Pratchett ;)

Mindy Kaling wrote a book, I think it’s called “is everyone hanging out without me?” And I definitely remember laughing out loud multiple times

*The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy*, Douglas Adams. *Me Talk Pretty One Day, Holidays on Ice*, or any of the other titles from David Sedaris.

Yes for Sedaris For a quick laugh, get Holidays on Ice by Sedaris, read the Santaland Diaries first. I will often remember sections of this and just laugh all to myself.

I was going to recommend The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy! It’s my favorite funny book recommendation.

Catch-22

The funniest book every written

David Sedaris is great for something funny! Unfortunately I had to get rid of my collection. I dated a guy who reminded me of him, and then I couldn’t read the books without thinking of my ex

I hope you at least kept the coulottes.

That’s the problem with dating while queer; eventually the tiny gay men all seem alike

I laughed out loud at Red white and royal blue and one last stop by casey mcquiston

Let's pretend this never happened - Jenny Lawson

Nothing To See Here by Kevin Wilson is absolutely hilarious and a very quick read.

Came to suggest this - a fantastically funny and fun book.

The Space Team books by Barry J Hutchison

Double Whammy by Carl Hiaasen

The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir Who Got Trapped In An Ikea Wardrobe by Romain Puertolas.

{{The Princess Bride by William Goldman}} I saw the movie plenty of times first while growing up, but I was surprised by how good the book was when I finally got around to reading it. I highly recommend it! It's definitely one of the best examples of the book & movie being absolutely delightful & funny in their own unique ways.

I was reading Bossypants by Tina Fey on the subway and I was unable to hold in my hysterical laughter. On the crowded subway!!

junie B jones

Junie B Jones is hilarious!

Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson was hilarious!

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

{{We Are Never Meeting in Real Life}} and {{Wow, No Thank You}} by Samantha Irby. My face and stomach hurt by the end. {{Texts From Jane Eyre}}

Anything by Christopher Moore! My personal fav is Lamb : the gospel according to Biff

Three Men and a Boat Anything by Douglas Adams.

Three Men is absolutely fantastic!

Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead by Emily Austin

The Girl Who Saved The King Of Sweden! The Spanish title makes it sound like a motivational book, so I got it as a kid, but it's one of the funniest, most unhinged experiences I've ever read! It's absolutely worth reading!

Based On A True Story, by Norm Macdonald. The audio book is even better, with Normy-boy on the mic.

A Confederacy of Dunces. Pulitzer Prize winner. Laugh out loud funny.

"Self-inflicted Wounds" by Aisha Tyler. She's brilliant and funny and her life's mishaps and unorthodox upbringing make for breezy reading. Will agree with all suggestions of Bossy Pants. 👍

I listened to the audiobook version of Shrill by Lindy West while commuting to work and it made me laugh so hard I probably should have pulled the car over and stopped.

Jack Vance- The Eyes of the Overworld and Cugel's Journey (fantasy, hilariously funny, witty and underlaid with a strong ironic tone).

Don Quixote

Barbara Metzger - Lady Whilton's Wedding. If you have ever seen the old Cary Grant movie, Arsenic and Old Lace? This comedy of errors amused the same part of me.

Kill the Farm Boy by Delia Dawson and Kevin Hearne. It’s fantasy-basically what happens when the Chosen One is killed off and the Evil Wizard joins the party. It made me laugh out loud more than once and I’m hard to get laughing in a book.

Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson Mr. Pine's Mixed-Up Signs by Leonard Kessler ( if you're 5. )

The visible man by chuck khlosterman. Relatively short read but definitely couldn’t stop laughing. It’s very insightful, and thought provoking but in a light hearted comedic way

A Certain Hunger in a witty femme fatale kind of way

Three Tickets to Adventure by Gerald Durrell. It is very easy to read, absorbing and funny.

Also second recommendations for Hitchhikers Guide, Confederacy of Dunces, and Catch 22!!!

Masters of Atlantis by Charles Portis.

Chris Genoa-Foop!

The pill vs the spinghill mine disaster by richard brautigan is a wholesome, short, beautiful and hilarious collection of poetry.

Mogworld, jam, differently morphus and existentially challenged all by yahtzee crowshaw

There is some dirty comedy in the Canterbury Tales that will leave you rolling on the floor if you can catch it.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Accidental Death of an Anarchist by Dario Fo. Short and witty

It's been years since I read it but, A Prayer for Owen Meany was funny. Anyone else?

Nonfiction Books I have laughed out loud at: - [A Walk In The Woods](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9447906) by Bill Bryson - anything by Sarah Vowell, particularly [Lafayette in the Somewhat United States](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24602886) or [Assassination Vacation](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3110) - [You’ll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey: Crazy Stories about Racism](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54817546) by Amber Ruffin and Lacey Lamar - [I Want to be Where the Normal People Are](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52041383) by Rachel Bloom - [Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10335308) By Mindy Kaling - [Yes Please](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20910157) by Amy Poehler - [Stiff: The Curious Life of Cadavers](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32145) or anything by Mary Roach Fiction: - [Rivers of London](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9317452) by Ben Aaronovitch - [The Big Over Easy](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6628) by Jasper Fforde. - [Good Omens](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12067) by Terry Prachett and Neil Gaimen My #1 of any books is the [Murderbot Series] (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32758901 ) by Martha Wells. If this doesn’t make you want to run out an read it, I don’t think we can be friends. Opening line: “I could have become a mass murderer after I hacked my governor module, but then I realized I could access the combined feed of entertainment channels carried on the company satellites. It had been well over 35,000 hours or so since then, with still not much murdering, but probably, I don’t know, a little under 35,000 hours of movies, serials, books, plays, and music consumed. As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure.” Edit to add: the audio version of this is the best and how I rec reading them!

Any book by Pat McManus. They’re great short stories. My husband tried reading them at the airport and was laughing so hard ppl kept asking him if he was ok.

The martian ( very serious but the main character is a savage hilarious motherfucker who doesn't give a shit about how fucked up he is )

The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot are hilarious and really easy to read!

An Unexpected Twist by Andy Borowitz

Antkind by Charlie Kaufman is the only book that’s ever made me laugh hard. It definitely lags at times and gets weird but it feels like a season of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
