pratchett seconded. xanth series if you're into that thing. hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy and sequels. myth series by aspirin are supposed to be funny, haven't read them much. princess bride was funny at some parts.

pratchett's the best for comedy though.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 3 02:41:09 2010 No.623744 anyone have suggestions for a comedy that's a bit more contemporary? i've already read the hichhikers galaxy and quite a bit of the discworld series, and i'm looking for something thats not as much fantasy.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 3 18:17:09 2010 No.625710 The Exploding Detective by John Swartzwelder, who wrote a whole bunch of simpsons episodes when it was still good, is the funniest thing i have ever read. i was literally in pain a good 5 or 6 times reading it.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 3 18:20:09 2010 No.625723 Christopher Moore. Look him up, he's brilliant at just really fast, funny dialogue.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 3 18:29:48 2010 No.625771 >>625710 not OP, but thanks his books look good to OP, the only funny books I've read (which I can recall) are catch-22 and a confederacy of dunces. both amazing, but I liked a confederacy of dunces better,

>>	Anonymous Mon May 3 18:31:09 2010 No.625783 The Divine Comedy, it's a comedy of divine proportions.
