Last Laugh Out Loud Book you read?

[saganorenscarandcoat]

I'm currently reading a Bill Bryson book and it's making me laugh a lot. What's the best laugh out loud book you've read?

A long time ago now, but I read Are You Dave Gorman? on a train journey and had lots of odd looks because I was laughing so much.

Saw the title and my first thought was Bill Bryson!

Following for recommendations.

I really really need a good belly laugh!

Anything by Carl Hiassen.

Any of David Sedaris's books. Guaranteed to make you laugh.

I came on to say Bill Bryson too. So funny, I almost wet myself . Bridget Jones (the first one I think) also made me laugh out loud, on a train, years ago. Really embarrassing, it was a horrible snotty, can’t breathe kind of laugh .

Nora ephron always makes me laugh.

Another one who was coming on to say Bill Bryson.

Also, "Three Men in a Boat" by Jerome K Jerome. I read this book often (or just snippets) & even though I've read it a zillion times, and know exactly what's going to happen, I still find it hilarious . I think it's the wonderful Victorian/Edwardian language that adds to its funniness.

Love Nina I think it’s called. That had me annoying the man sat next to me. Also Where d’you go Bernadette and The Supremes at Earls All You Can Eat

Strange but I don’t find the authors mentioned above funny at all! Just goes to show how individual humour is

‘This is going to hurt’ by Adam Kay - really good, funny, easy to pick up and put down as stories are in short chapters. Amazon reviews speak for themselves:

www.amazon.co.uk/This-Going-Hurt-Secret-Diaries/dp/1509858636/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ref=plSrch&keywords=this+wont+hurt+a+bit&dpPl=1&dpID=51ooHWL7NML&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8&qid=1530473481&sr=8-1

Vanity Fair is making me laugh out loud at the moment (only about 40% in). The narrator's turn of phrase is hilarious, oozing with smart raised eyebrow wit.

‘This is going to hurt’ by Adam Kay

I came on this thread to say exactly that!

I am just over half way through and have many laugh out load moments.

Peter Kay - The Sound of Laughter!!!!!!

P.G. Wodehouse's Mulliner books are hilarious.

The Rosie Project!

Jack Dee's autobiography made me laugh loads, but Peter Kay's is even more funny.

Sophie kinsella books/also writes as madeline wickham always make me laugh, love the way she writes.

Another vote for Adam Kays This is going to Hurt. I found it to be a brilliant read. I had to keep reading bits out loud to my dh as he wanted to know what was so funny.

The learner parent, Sam Avery. actually cried with laughter at times :-)

P G Wodehouse

How to be a Husband by Tim Dowling.

Oooh watching this thread!

Love Bill Bryson.

I've just read Elinor Oliphant following a recommendation on here and I laughed out loud. Several times. And I am hard to please.

Any of Will Self's books I've read have made me laugh out loud.
I also always find them disturbing

Bill Bryson for me too! The Lost Continent, Neither Here Nor There, and Notes From A Small Island have all made me snort laughing on public transport. I wish he'd get the travel bug again...
