Mine would be About A Boy by Nick Hornby. The seriousness of the theme is covered up by the fact that the dialogue is witty!

Default funny book!

Bill Bryson is hilarious. I laughed out loud reading "A Walk in the Woods". Amy Sedaris is very funny (dry) too!

The funniest book I ever read is now more than 100 years old and the humor is just as fresh as Dimitri Mrtin. It's Jerome K. Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat".

When my mother was in her 80's and was visiting at my house, and everyone went to bed, she said she wasnt ready to go to sleep yet, did I have anything she could read for a few minutes. I got out "Three Men in a Boat", and went to bed. Nobody could sleep--- Mom was downstairs laughing so hard, I was afraid we might have to call 9-1-1. This is a true classic of humor. I've met people all over the world who love this book, but it is virtually unknown in America.
