Fear and Loathing is definitly up there.
The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks is purely fiction but could convince anyone of a zombie attack and it is hilarious.
Women by Charles Bukowski is totally hilarious if you can deal with the fact that he is a very dirty old man.

1. A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore
In A Dirty Job, Death comes in the form of a tall, black record store owner named Minty Fresh, who steals your wife's soul, confers upon you the job of Death Merchant, and leaves you and your newly born daughter to fend for yourselves among hellhounds, sewer harpies and an army composed mostly of reanimated squirrels.

2. A Year in the Merde by Stephen Clarke
Based loosely on Stephen Clarke's experiences in Paris, with names changed to avoid embarrassment and possible legal action, A Year In The Merde is the story of a 27-year-old Brit immersed in the contradictions of French culture.

3. Dress Your Family In Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris
Another collection of essays based on the diary that David Sedaris has kept every day for some thirty-odd years. Utterly addictive.

4. Fat White Vampire Blues by Andrew Fox
Andrew Fox has created an Ignatius Reilly (A Confederacy of Dunces) of the undead and as in John Kennedy Toole's famous novel, Fox takes full advantage of the exotic and eccentric nature of New Orleans.

5. I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert
From Colbert comes the book to fill the other 23½ hours of your day.

6. Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore
Christopher Moore's irreverent, iconoclastic, and hilarious tale of the early life of Jesus Christ as witnessed by his boyhood pal, Biff.

7. Sex and Sunsets by Tim Sandlin
Kelly Palamino is not crazy. Yes, water does talk to him: his toilet tells him to eat fish; his Water Pik quotes Ezra Pound. But Kelly Palamino is not crazy.

8. Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman
Chuck Klosterman's recent collection of essays that range topically from the music industry to "The Awe-Inspiring Beauty of Tom Cruise's Shattered, Troll-like Face."

9. The Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin
Steve Martin's hilarious second novel relate the misadventures of a house-bound, obsessive-compulsive anti-hero.

10. Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris.
Joshua Ferris nails the cynicism of corporate cubicle culture in his incisively hilarious first novel.

Top 10, from Amazon. I love Lamb! xo vivid
