Are any books consistently funny?

On level 4 and level 6 irony that's a pretty funny picture though.

Joyce, Beckett, Flann O'Brien, and Pynchon consistently make me laugh

Aristophanes.

Wilt series by Tom Sharpe

>>8306184

Molloy by Beckett
Wise Blood by O'Connor
The Trial by Kafka
Remains of the Day by Ishiguro
I Am A Cat by Soseki

I am currently reading Moby Dick and portions of the narration are actually very funny. Also, monitoring this thread because I love reading a great book that successfully pulls off humor (hard to do).

>pic not related

Thank God, I was almost triggered that a fellow /lit/ poster found this funny.

Catch-22, it's either a feather in the cap or a real black eye.

My nigga

I chuckled couple of times during Portnoy's Complaint.

I know people are going to say I'm just trying to be ultra-patrician but I found JR by Gaddis pretty damn hilarious. Though be warned, it's almost completely devoid of any other emotion. If you want to laugh for 800 pages, go for it. If you want to sympathize with a character then read something else.

This also The Petty Demon, A Confederacy of Dunces, and Lost In The Cosmos.

The Jeeves books manage to be consistently funny as well as comfy, and I'm not even from the UK

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The first part of A Clockwork Orange
The Birth of Tragedy
Machiavelli's comedies
Anything by Giorgio Manganelli
Cioran

Seconding Flann O'Brien.

Plebian-tier rubbish, but I remember holing up in Barnes and Nobles, literally biting down on my knuckles trying not to laugh at Max Tucker's "I Hope they Serve Beer In Hell" because the staff warned me once already I was being way too loud.

There was another book too from Barnes and Nobles that legitimately made me lmao in public. It was just some independent book about some lady talking about her day-to-day life with her two kids and her husband, and I liked the way she drew them. The stories about her kids always gave me a hearty belly laugh. 10/10.

>Tfw that Barnes and Nobles closed down and was replaced with a ROSS

Good times, man. Good times. It's where I would always run away to after school or something. Had a lot of kind memories there.

/thread

It even has some nice prose too.

Oh man, we used to take turns reading aloud stories from IHTSBIH in the highschool lockerroom before and after gym days. Great times lol.

Hilarity Ensues by him was pretty good too. Tucker Max is the reason I ever read Malcolm X's autobio

Heh, troglodyte.

I remember reading Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff a long time ago and found it funny.

It's a tasteful satire on the 4 Gospel books accounting Jesus' life in the Bible, though often it has a tad more character introspection than your standard satire

I thought pic related was very clever and though I didn't guffaw there were definitely moments where my grin wouldn't get any wider.
