Need an upbeat/funny book. Can you recommend one?

[Wills]

Hi,

Life is scarey/blue at the moment as I've issued a grievance against my old boss as he went too far. Being 25 weeks pregnant I could really do without the stress but can't leave his slur on my file unchallenged! Along with other tensions going on I could really do with an escape book to disappear into that makes me smile. I travel for approximate 150 minutes by tube and train each day and could really do with just emersing myself in a good book.

Must do my daughterly duty and recommend this for frothy romcom optimism:
My mum's book
Fits in yer handbag...

Cold Comfort Farm, by Stella Gibbons. Written in the 1920s or thereabouts. Makes me laugh out loud every time I read it.

French Revolutions by Tim Moore. I read it during a stressful job and loved it because I know nothing about cycling or the Tour de France - so a complete break from everything. Give it a go. (NB his one about Monopoly is much less good).

oh also, my complete standby only not at the moment because my copies have literally fallen to pieces, but also depending on your age - Clive James' TV criticism - Visions Before Midnight, The Crystal Bucket, Glued to the Box. I was too young to have seen most of these programmes, but it doesn't matter - crap TV is the same throughout. I have read them 500 times each and still fall off the loo seat reading them they are so funny. Only thing is, you suddenly realise how much other journalists nick from him.
