I need to read something that will make me laugh, any recommendations?

[cadelaide]

Too much doom and gloom on my bookshelf.

Jonathan Coe makes me laugh in "House of Sleep" (well he did 15-odd years ago anyway).

Any ideas?

Second Adrian Mole. Also Carl Hiasen: American and funny. P. G Wodehouse would be my relaxing and entertaining author of choice: another fine day dawns at Blandings, and all is well with the world

Second Carl Hiassen and suggest Christopher Brookmyre who is double-y funny if you are Scottish but still v funny if you are not

How to Talk to a Widower, highly recommend.

The new Alan Partridge autobiography is hilarious.

Oh, agree Christopher Brookmyre too. V funny

Thank you for the David Sedaris recommendation! Heard him on R4 - laughed till I cried...and then forgot his name so deprived of more. Off to rectify that now.

Had this same conversation with my family the other day. Results were:

Me - Scoop - Evelyn Waugh
Husband - Blot on the Landscape - Tom Sharpe
Mum - Any PG Wodehouse
Dad - Eddie Izzard (erm, has he written a book?)

Agree Jonathan Coe extremely funny.

Sophie Kinsella - Can you keep a secret

Never fails to make me laugh
