I think so because it is more autobiographical. I can't wait for President Me to come out. Should be the best yet

I like Confederacy of Dunces but its never been funny to me. Really books aren't the best medium for comedy. Bill Bryson is good though.

I recently read "everything is perfect when you're a liar" (no italics on my ipad) so, something like that. That is a "chick" book though.



Italics are right over there ----->

Not the best chuck book to start with in my opinion. Try Lullaby, that made me laugh audibly more than a few times.

I Love You Beth Cooper

Redshirts, if you're into sci fi.

The first Tucker Max book. The second was garbage.

The Tucker Max books are hilarious. The first one made laugh till I cried. If you've seen the I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell movie you'll recognize a few stories. Assholes Finish First was funny but different. I still enjoyed. I have the other two I'm bringing for a 2 week Caribbean vacation in a few weeks and look forward to reading those.

I hate to read so if I get excited about a book it's gotta be worth pickin up.

I thought Hunter Thompson's The Great Shark Hunt was very funny. Actually most of his books have funny or absurd situations in them, but you have to like HT's writing and his alcohol/drug fueled style.

If you like historical fiction, Little Big Man (Tom Berger) is a good read with some comedy and wit thrown onto the mix.

Others have mentioned Bill Bryson. I've read several of his books and find him to be very humorous. If you've ever backpacked, you'll probably relate to "A Walk in the Woods."

If you play golf, read Somewhere in Ireland, a Village is Missing an Idiot, by David Feherty.

Women by Bukowski


Yes. All of Bukowski's material is absolutely hilarious. One of my favorite authors.
