Good morning people I'm just having a coffee and decided to pop in and see if I could get some recommendations on some of your favorite books that you think are funny. Any suggestions are welcome.

Great thread bro!
Hmm...an easy read, but an entertaingly funny one. It mentally illustrates awkward moments quite nicely especially through the mindset of a kid lol.

The Dirk Gently books are pretty funny too, especially the second one Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul. Great as audio books, Adams read them all himself.
