Recommend a recent book that has made you laugh...

[MaitreKarlsson]

Am presently reading Charlie Savage by Roddy Doyle. Absolutely hilarious - similar confused middle aged character as in the Snapper, the Van etc but almost every line is funny. Loving it! Enjoying how a book can put a positive spin on the whole day. Any other recommendations? Don't have to be really recent just not old classics eg Diary of a Nobody - read quite a few of them

I really enjoyed Deric Longden's books - Wide Eyed and Legless, Lost for Words, I'm a Stranger Here Myself, Cat who came in from the cold and a couple of others. Lots of laughing and crying while reading them!

The hundred year old man who climbed out the window and dissappeared.
Very funny and very endearing. Actually all of his books just make you feel good about the world.

this is going to hurt by Adam kay, about a junior doctor is really funny and also a very interesting read, would definitely recommend it

[feska5]

Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine by Gail Honeyman - really loved it

[feliciabirthgiver]

Love anything by John O'Farrell - May Contain Nuts is like Mumsnet in a book!

2nd This is going to hurt by Adam Kay

[LakeFlyPie]

I've just re read My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell and it still makes me laugh as much as the 1st time I read it as a teen

[CaptainNelson]

I've just read Standard Deviation by Catherine Heiney (sp?). Made me laugh out loud

[EmmaGrundyForPM]

Us by David Mitchell

[GeorgeTheBleeder]

Anna Burns' Milkman. Dense, absorbing, hilarious. Cannot praise it enough.

[hackmum]

Ma'am darling by Craig Brown. Biography of Princess Margaret. Much, much funnier than that sounds.

3rd-ing “This Is Going To Hurt” - I really laugh out loud to books but I did to this one, although it did also make me cry!!

*rarely!

The Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich

[MyFamilyAndOtherAnimals1]

Yes @LakeFlyPie!!!!

[brizzlemint]

4th'ing the Adam Kay books. Also Dara O'Briain's Tickling the English

[buckeejit]

Adam Kay here too. I know you say not old but The Blue Castle by L M Montgomery (wrote Anne of Green Gables) is vg & will make you grin while reading

[MaitreKarlsson]

Good suggestions thanks! Have read 'this is going to hurt' already but not familiar with most of the others...did read Ma'am Darling but found it a bit sad in the end - bit of a wasted unhappy life! LakeFlyPie wondering if My Family..is also good for reading to a 10yr DS who loves animals...?

Another recommendation is Tim Moore's French Revolutions by the way. A non-cyclist decides to attempt the complete route of the Tour de France solo one year. Its quite tricky. I'm on my 4th reading (over many years)

6thing this is gonna hurt.

[Vegasprincess89]

Jana DeLeon miss fortune series. The first one, Louisiana longshot is free on play books. Honestly could not recommended this series enough!!! She also does a more series crime called the shaye archer series which is also brilliant.
