Been lurking the board since it started and I've got a request that I've oddly never seen before. What are some books that you'd consider laugh out loud funny? I'd love to contribute some suggestions of my own but I've only just recently started reading regularly and can't think of an example.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 22 08:05:19 2010 No.460762 Sort of depends on your sense of humour, but personally - Douglas Adams(not just THHGTTG), Tom Sharpe, Terry Pratchett, Stephen Fry, Bill Bryson, Jeremy Clarkson. Not saying that everything by these people made me LOL, but each of them have.
