Ulysses is a riot

Wait a second

Confederacy of Dunces isn't a real book

Based on a True Story by Norm Macdonald. It's the only legitimately funny book in this thread. The rest are a little wry and cooky but you won't laugh out loud at them unless you're just pretending

Anything by Wodehouse.

Came to say this.

I found The Black Prince by Iris Murdoch pretty funny at times

>>8885704
The incarnations of immortality series by Piers Anthony is pretty great, a mix of comedy and seriousness.

Wodehouse, Heller, Ruggles, Fforde, Pratchett and Adams are the funniest authors I've come across.

Memories of My Father Watching TV

The Long Ships. 95% is serious, but that 5% made me absolutely lose my shit.

A lot of the humor Eco throws into his fiction is a riot as well. Baudolino especially, The Prague Cemetery a close second.

Wodehouse, Rankin, Pratchett and Adams, Grant Naylor

Lucky Jim

Catch-22. So far it's the only book I've read that made me laugh out loud.

Fictions or El Aleph by Borges are quite funny in my opinion. I don't really laugh often but sometimes I'll just let out a small chuckle while reading one of his novels, which is a lot to my standards

you don't need a book to laugh, just this comment is enough

Miles Davis's autobiography (with Quincy Troupe) is pretty "lol" funny.

Lolita. I am beeing completely honest: It is by far the funniest book I have ever read. Humbert Humbert is hilarious: he makes several jokes per page. While the matter of the book is serious and often brutal and sad, the voice of the narrator is one of the most comicaly gifted I have ever encountered. The guy puts any stand-up comedian to shame.

Dead Souls by Gogol and Tristram Shandy by Sterne. Besides GR probably the only two books ever to make me laugh out loud.
