Can someone tell me about a book that's actually funny?
This garbo and Hitchhiker's Guide both came off dated and disappointing.

a confederacy of dunces
The Illuminatus! Trilogy is funny but might be dated for a few people (wasn't for me though)
I found American Psycho funny but in more of a hysterical type of way
Slaughterhouse 5 had some similar themes to your pic related
What are some other American black comedy or tragicomedy books besides Catch-22, Lolita, Infinite Jest, A Confederacy of Dunces, Gravity's Rainbow?
Could Gravity's Rainbow be considered black comedy?
Try john swartzwelder. Had me laughing out loud a lot

Pale Fire
At Swim Two Birds
These are the only books I've read by Nabokov and Flann O' Brian, respectively and the funniest books I've read overall. I presume both have other funny, good works.
