People have already mentioned Dave Barry but I want to say that Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs is the absolute funniest thing I have ever read. It is a topic it seems everyone is very passionate about--the songs they hate. If you ever need a laugh and you are into music, please read it.
I also like Dave Barry's Complete Guide to Guys, Dave Barry in Cyberspace, and Dave Barry's OnlyTravel Guide You'll Ever Need.

I recently read Nora Ephron's "I Feel Bad About My Neck" and I laughed all the way through it. Its a small book of essays focused on "women of a certain age", "purse envy", "sagging necks", etc. I have friends who have also read it and we had a good laugh over some of the stories.
Books by Danny Wallace like "Yes Man", "Friends like these""Join Me", " How to start your own country" , or Dave Gorman "Are you Dave Gorman", "America unchained", "Dave Gorman's Googlewhack adventure".
I also love the very funny books by Anthropologist Nigel Barley " The Innocent Anthropologist", "A Plague of Caterpillars " etc..
And Pete Mc Carthy's "Mc Carthys Bar" and "the road to Mc Carthy's ".
The absolutely funniest non-fiction book I ever read was written by George Papashvily. It's about how he first came to America and various things that happened before he met his wife, and I howled all the way through it. Unfortunately, I can't remember the title.
There is a book called Letters from a Nut. Basically this guy writes ridiculous letters to people and companies and then they write back. It is hilarious and there's a sequel. Also, the mysteries by David Rosenfelt are hilarious.

In recent months.
Re-read Gilda's autobiography recently after years shelved. I found it brought up the same emotion as the first go around; a few tears, a few laughs, and a few moments of introspectiveness.

Okay, I think the title is Anything Can Happen. It's probably long since OP, because I read it in my early teens, but it may be available through Amazon or some other place that sells older books.
