A Confederacy of Dunces, John Kennedy Toole. Without Feathers, Woody Allen. I am easily entertained, so there are dozens of books that have elicited a few chuckles from me. But without a doubt, the funniest book I've ever read was Dave Barry's Complete Guide to Guys. In it I saw my husband and just about every man I've ever known.
Truth is funnier than fiction.
Some of the passages read were followed by a closing of the book to emotionally recover. My all time choice would be No Time For Sergeants by Mac Hyman. More contemporary books would be anything by Dave Barry or Scott Adams. Well I remember laughing over and over as a pre-teen to Cheaper by the Dozen, and as an adult, all of Dave Barry's books have been read numerous times by my family. Once a friend of mine who was trying to get rid of a terrible winter flu came to me in Florida to get out of the winter weather.
