Book That Made You Laugh

For me... hmm, I guess Three Men in a Boat and Three Men on the Bummel by Jerome K. Jerome, basically anything by Gerald Durrell, Little Nicholas by Goscinny and The Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce.

 

When I saw the title I thought ... Three Men In a Boat but you just said that

 

the whole HitchHiker's Guide series is damn funny

 

I only really like the first two...I thought after that they started to go a bit downhill. Good...but not *as* good

 

Hitchhikers, and erm...Cold Comfort Farm is very funny

 

funniest book is definitely BOY by Roald Dahl

 

I would have to say that CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN is probably the funniest book I have read.
READ IT!!

 

Kurt Vonnegut - Slaughterhouse 5 or Breakfast of Champions or Cat's Cradle they are all hallarious, and serious at the same time. Vonnegut is awsome!

 

Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas (Much better than the film)
Catch-22
Scanner Darkly by Philip K Dick (quite a serious and sad book but has some hilarious moments in it).

 

Rayuela by Julio Cortázar is the one book that satisfies me in every possible way. Loud laughters all the time.

 

Well, The Commitments by Roddy Doyle was really funny, I also liked The Diary Of Adrian Mole.

 

Usually, I don't read books for entertainment, but the book that made me laugh the most (although it isn't supposed to be a comedy) was Dennis Rodman's autobiography, "Bad as I Wanna Be." It was hilarious as hell.

 

I really have to read Hitchhiker, it seems...

 

robert a heinlein's _job: a comedy of justice_
joseph heller's _god knows_
ernest brahmah's __the golden hours of kai lung_
james thurber's _fables for modern man_

 

The Terry Pratchett Discworld series keeps me rolling. I laughed 'til I cried, in some cases...

 

Diary of a Dirty Old Man by Charles Bukowski.

 

Terry Pratchet rulez
I didn't know Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (the movie) came from a book, could you tell me the author? I liked the movie very much, great job by the actors, and got so much fun.
And finally, did you read Rayuela in English or in original Spanish, i mean translating Cortazar to english must be very hard, because of most of the expessions aren't not easy in spanish so i cannot imagine in English.

And have you read trainspotting? not a comedy at all, but has really funny moments. remember the power of a waiter, watch out with that

 

Running with scissors (Augusten Borroughs)

Bill Bryson is funny too.

Hunter S. Thompson wrote it, Johnny Depp plays him in the movie.

I thought The Electric Cool-Aid Acid Test-Tom Wolfe, was pretty damn funny as well.
So was Under the Roofs of Paris by Henry Miller--it's like reading really funny porn.

 

I'd have to agree that the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy is great. The others in the series are good too, but the first is a classic.
