trulycrabby Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Anything by Terry Pratchett, but with a warning because many of the books have witches and supernateral creatures in them. Pratchett does not spare any of them, he pokes fun at everything, and the books are more about using supernaturals to make fun of humans than anything else. PG Wodehouse!!!!!

Cammie Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I have to second (and third and fourth) the Amelia Peobody series - funny, a few dead bodies, a gorgoeus husband, intelligent children, an evil someone or the other and Egyptology - WHAT is NOT to LOVE?????

Mom-ninja. Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I third or fourth PG Wodehouse. I second Bob Newhart's audio book. I second Jen Lancaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanier.1765 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'm really enjoying JK Rowling's The Cuckoo's Calling. This isn't a genre I would normally read but this book has me completely hooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlgirl Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Summer of Light by W. Dale Cramer. There is Christian Content didn't know if that will be a problem. It is about a steel worker who loses his job and ends up staying home with his kids for the summer. I do not laugh easily and I generally do not re-read books. I cried I laughed so hard and read it twice. Now that I think about it I may read it again. Enjoy reading! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 M.C. Beaton makes me laugh out load. One series is Hamish Macbeth (the Scottish Highland village); the other Agatha Raisin (English Cotswald village). Definitely doesn't make you think. Both are murder mysteries with a lot of humor. I adore Hamish & Agatha Raisin too. Currently reading Orange is the New Black (book the TV/Netflix series came from) & can hardly put it down.

Tiramisu Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I adore Hamish & Agatha Raisin too. Currently reading Orange is the New Black (book the TV/Netflix series came from) & can hardly put it down. Oh, good! I'll take this as a personal recommendation. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negin Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Love so many of those already mentioned. Added others that look good to my never-ending wish list. Great suggestions. :) Fannie Flagg Love Fannie Flagg. :) Can't Wait to Get to Heaven was my favorite. Love them all. Maeve Binchy has some humor in them also. Always liked her. Funny in Farsi and Laughing Without an Accent Alison Arngrim's Confessions of a Prairie B---- (about being Nellie Olson) One of my favorites!

GailV Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate steampunk/urban fantasy series is funny and a lot of fun. It begins with Soulless. I checked the first one out of the library based on this thread. So much fun! Thank you for recommending it! I just started book 2. (Not to say others didn't suggest good books, too -- I apparently read a lot of humor, though, since I'd already read most of the other series mentioned.)

Mothersweets Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 ad majorem Dei gloriam. It is the Jesuit motto meaning 'to the greater glory of God'. (Or all men deserve government according to my husband!) Regards, Kareni Lovely, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatHomeschoolDad Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I fell into the "Discworld" series by Terry Pratchett, which was in the YA section of the library, but doesn't quite belong there, IMO. Sometimes subtle, but very funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
