Infinite Jest had a lot of very funny parts in my opinion, like laugh-out-loud funny. Nabokov usually gets a few laughs out of me. The only other one I can think of is the Master & Margarita.

Catch 22 made me laugh the most and the hardest.
Kafka makes me so sad I start to manic laugh.
Infinite jest had some funny bits and the parts that weren’t funny were amusing in the smirkish manner.

This was surprisingly funny at times, I like the author's smug autistic remarks.
