Can anyone recommend me some really funny books?

I was thinking today that it has been a while since I read anything that really made me laugh.

I love PG Wodehouse and also find some Bill Bryson books very funny.

Diary of a Nobody is probably one of my favourite funny books. I also love Evelyn Waugh Decline and Fall and Vile Bodies.

Has anyone any suggestions?

Thanks

David Sedaris. Very funny, especially 'Me Talk Pretty One Day' and 'Understanding Diabetes with Owls'

I giggled my way through The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion.

Letters from a Nut by Ted L Nancy and More Letters from a Nut by the same.

My husband and I took turns reading them aloud to each other and nearly weeing ourselves.

I recently read The Wallcreeper and it's very funny.

Essentially an observation of a very strange marriage with adultery, drug use, eco activism and bird watching thrown into the mix.

The throw away lives are to die for.
