    While I was here posting, I just had to say, NorCaliGreenFiend, that ITA about Vonnegut. I haven't read any Palahniuk (yet:eek:); but I certainly plan to
    now.

    Anything done by Dave Barry. Pontoon by Garrison Keillor. Superman by I forget who. All of those I would recommend.

    Recently finished 'Kingdom of Fear' by Hunter S. Thompson. Couldn't help but burts out with laughter in some sections.

    Just finished Thompson's classic 'Fear and Loathingin Las Vegas' for the third time. So many funny parts in that book, you forget about the serious undertones!

    The first book I ever laughed out loud while reading was George Burns' autobiography, which I believe is called They Still Love Me in Altoona.

    Anything by Tom Robbins. I'm currently reading 'Skinny Legs and All' and it's just crazy.

    +The Catcher in the Rye" and "Catch 22" both made me laugh pretty hard. Fear and Loathing did too but it was ruined because I had already seen the movie a bunch of times.

    Forrest Gump by Winston Groom. MUCH better than the movie.

    The funniest part to me was the part about him and Jenny getting it on. Apparantly Forrest really knew how to take care of a lady. THAT part definitely didn't get put in the movie.

    The Devil's Dictionary is a good choice (first post).
    I don't read 'funny' books.
    But...
    A Fairy Tale Of New York by Donleavy made me laugh out loud years ago.

    George Carlin's books are good, they make me laugh sometimes.

    For me it would have to be 'the curious case of the dead dog by Mark Haddon.
    It is written from the perspective of a young boy with autism.
