are there any books that have made you laugh? I don't mean a small chuckle here and there I mean something that made you laugh for like ten seconds straight.

Pretty much what everyone's already mentioned (confederacy, catch 22, quixote), but I'll add infinite jest as well. Thought it was way funnier than anybody had mentioned

One of the jokes in Please Don't Call Me Human had me laughing for about five minutes. Funny book, I recommend it.

it's a short story but when I got to the twist in a hunger artist I just laughed my ass off for like ten seconds straight. legitimately, the funniest thing I've ever read.

Candide. Confederacy of dunces, especially him dancing in front of the employees had me crying. Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding makes me crack up, just from the phrasing and the trash talk.

Dat chicken coop scene. Also don't forget the other two books, Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday. It's kind of an unofficial trilogy.
