Recommendations for funny, uplifting books please 🙏🏻

[CanineJesus]

I’ve recently read a few pretty heavy, depressing books (haven’t even finished one of them, gave up half way through) and I’m desperate to read something much lighter and funny. ‘Laugh on the train’ type of book.
any recommendations please? 🙏🏻

His moorhen poem

I just came back to add Dead Lovely by Helen Fitzgerald as it just caught my eye on my bookshelf this morning. I couldn't put it down & I'm going to re-read it again soon.
This should have been made into a tv drama or film instead of The Cry which was slow & grim, Dead Lovely would have been much better viewing.

P. G. Wodehouse: Right Ho Jeeves
P. G. Wodehouse: Joy in the Springtime
Douglas Adams: Hitchiker’s Guide
Brian Blessed: Absolute Pandemonium (listen to him read it if you can)
Patrick Fermor: A Time of Gifts

I also find Bill Bryson a very cheerful writer, so too Stephen Fry.

My family and other animals - loved it :)

Bill Bryson - The Thunderbolt Kid (the diving board story!) and Notes from a Small Island are my particular favourites.

All the Jeeves and Wooster books.

Someone else's shoes by JoJo Moyes

No-one mentioned Georgette Heyer? Light and witty and laugh out loud funny in places.

They are romances, but there's always a cast of secondary characters, often with their own stories going on.

Again, thank you everyone- I have a nice long list 😊
