The first page of Atlas Shrugged, made me laugh. I was kinda expecting something like that but not that quick. It is a decent book.

There's a joke in the book "father elijah: an apocolypse" that has a joke about substantial forms that made me laugh. I wasn't expecting it and was pleasantly surprised by a philosophy joke in my contemporary literature that didn't suck ass.
