I love Terry Pratchet, he is one of Britain's best political satirists.

I personally loved the book he and Niel Gaiman wrote called Good Omens.

A good story about the end of days and how a demon and an angel try to sabotage Lucifer's plan to bring it about because they have become so fond of "life on earth"...

I don't usually find books to be funny.

I love the Footrot Flats comic series! When I was in my teens, Dad banned me from reading it in bed, because I would laugh so hard I wouldn't sleep! They are playing cricket in the snippet below.

Dysfunctional Family Christmas Song Book.
It is a song book, but they re-worked all the orginal christmas carols. Very relatable to the everyday american family, and super funny. With songs like Grandpa's Drunk and O Holy Fight.

I think one of the funniest books I've ever read primarily because it was the first of his books I'd read and was totally not expecting it was The Complete Guide to Guys by Dave Barry. I saw the title and immediately thought "Hah! Like anyone knows everything about guys..." and I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. Truly hilarious. His other books are likewise funny and Big Trouble is a fantastic novel. It does help that I lived in Miami for 4 years and am familiar with most of the areas but his description of sports talk radio makes me laugh every time. Oh, and when the guy gets poisoned by the frog and sees a demonic Elizabeth Dole head on the dog I was completely cracking up. Good times.

I've read a lot of humor out there including Pratchett and there are lots of different types of humor. Pratchett is great at satirical humor and I do think Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite comic series. But for straight up laughing-out-loud-until-your-coffee-comes-out-your-nose guffaws Dave Barry is my favorite.

I'm new to the reading field except for the scores of books I read in college, but I am really enjoying this book on Philosophy by Ed Feser called :"The Last Superstition." He goes on the attack about how Secularism has become everything it says it hates. He is uber funny. I didn't think you could blend humor with philosophy, but apparently you can. worth the read.
