I'm in the process of splitting up with my partner and really need some funny books to make me laugh right now? Any suggestions for books that will make me weep with laughter? Fiction or non fiction fine. I'm x posting this.

Caitlin Moran Moranthology is v funny and about the trials and tribulations of womanhood. Sorry you're going through a hard time. I'm following your thread hoping someone else will post too!

Brilliant! Thanks. I've just finished Rob Delaney (he of Catastrophe) autobiography which made me howl with laughter in parts. Just started one of David Sedaris (American hunourist) books too which is also quite good. And have ordered Sara Pascoes book Animal too. I need it after the day I've had - epic tantrums (not mine), dose of worms from nursery, gammy twisted knee and didn't get job I thought I was a shoe in for. Finding my pleasures where I can.

Think I'll order myself the Rob Delaney as could use a good laugh! Your day sounds a tough one, bummer about the job.

Have you watched Fleabag yet? It's on BBC3 online and I've been having a howl fest at it for last few nights. Guarantee it'll make you feel better about your life!

I have seen Fleabag and it was bloody brilliant! Catastrophe is back on C4 too which am so pleased about. Also watching Louie CK series which is great too. So desperate for a laugh right now.
