Tell me about the funniest book you've read!

[Timepasses]

I'm completely fed up and need a good giggle. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Ta

Don’t tell mum I work on the rigs - she thinks I’m a piano player in a whorehouse

Properly funny, I read this some years ago and couldn’t stop laughing.

A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. Disgusting and hilarious in one.

Ohh, A Conferacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole and The World According to Garp by John Irvine are both hilarious in a very literary way if you enjoy hapless men being confounded and bamboozled and ultimately undone by the strong women in their lives.

The Bottle Factory Outing by Beryl Bainbridge is quietly hilarious in its social obsevation.

Infinite Jest by David Forster Wallace, hilarious, if not a little impenetrable.

Xpost 2cats!

Is everybody hanging out without me - mindy kaling

Watermelon by Marion Keyes! It’s a good laugh!!

Bedwetter - Sarah Silverman

Kill Your Friends and the sequel Kill Em All by John Niven. Not for the easily offended though.

Gwen Raverat's Period Piece.

I agree about Emma Kennedy's books and Nina Stibbe's "Love, Nina". Genuinely warmed by both but laughed so much!

Oh! Also, Jennifer Saunder's autobiography. I might of laughed most at that one! I could just hear the British sarcasm in her voice and I had to put the book down to control my laughter at points!

A certain chemistry by Mil millington. Genuinely laugh out loud funny.

PG Wodehouse: any of the Jeeves books

"Hopscotch and Handbags" by Lucy Mangan.

Bought it at an airport and started reading it straight away.

I literally (as in "really" and "not figuratively") laughed until I cried.
To the point where OH and my daughters moved away and wouldn't sit by me.

And I didn't care because the book was so good and so funny.

Agree about Adrian Mole and also anything by jenny eclair - try 'life, death & vanilla slices'.

@katseyes7 Thunderbolt Kid - must have read the story of Milton's dad and the high diving board 20 times, and still wheeze-cry laughing every time

Not a book but the funniest podcast I’ve ever listened to is My Dad Wrote a Porno. Literally laugh out loud. If you need cheering up, give it a go.

Horses arse by Charlie Owen. I literally cried laughing. It is police related and as a cop I might have found it funnier than a civvy would but it was seriously hysterical

No Pixilicious the funniest podcast is Dear Joan and Jericha by Julia Davis and Vicky Pepperdine. Utterly Fucking Hilarous.

Cows by Dawn o'porter is really funny.

@PrettyFlyF0raWifi

I love Mil's books! I was going to specifically recommend Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About (my favourite book) but they're all great reads.

No good deed by John Niven is hilarious

Adrian Mole. Never fails.

James Herriot books - the early ones. Hilarious

The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, always makes me giggle

JesusInTheCabbageVan Yes!! The description's delicious. "The man who looks like Pluto"!!
My favourites are the one where they burned a hole in the man's head with a magnifying glass, and baffled the doctors the local hospital for months, and the one about the brothers who made the bomb but cocked up the timer. l've literally wet myself reading that one.
