I've been starting to read novels recently and the "humor" always comes off as cringey or just boring.
I assume that it is just because, to put it simply, I have that autistic sense of humor one can see throughout this site commonly. The type that would get me looked at oddly at best and reported for harassment/ostracized at worst.
Any books out there with a decent story/characters and would appeal to me comedically?
I prefer fantasy or historical fiction/alternate history books, but am open to science fiction.
I tried asking on /wsr/ without any luck because I didn't want to bother this board with a thread about a personal request.

I agree with >>8751384 try JR. Stop reading at the last 100 pages, tho. Shit gets bitter and sad.
Pynchons my fav writer for sure because my fav thing in books is goofs, gags, jokes and rambunctious behavior, and his books are full to the brim of it. Every novel is like one of those novelty snake cans, you open the book & POP you get a face fulla snakes and you fall back cackling. The mad mind, the crack genius, to do it! and then you think hmmm whats he gonna do next, this trickster, and you pick the book back up and BZZZZZZZZZZ you get a shock and Hahahahahah you've been pranked again by the old pynchmeister, that card. "Did that Pynch?" he says, laughing yukyukyukyuk. Watch him as he shoves a pair of plastic buck teeth right up into his mouth and displays em for you- left, right, center- "you like dese? Do i look handsome???" Pulls out a mirror. "Ah!" Hand to naughty mouth. And you're on your ass again laughing as he snaps his suspenders, exits stage right, and appears again hauling a huge golden gong.
