"Without Feathers" by Woodie Allen. "Getting Even" was very funny too, but I was laughing so much through almost all of "Without Feathers" that it was painful and actually amazing. Plenty of great pieces there, with "If the Impressionists Were Dentists" being a big personal favorite.

For novels, I think "Catcher In the Rye" stands out most in my mind. "Why are old men's legs always so white and unhairy?"

"Journey to the End of the Night" was also extremely funny in many places, though it's a miraculously sustained tone piece of absolutely bottomless black misery, arranged as a picaresque. One of the most amazing books I've ever read. "Tropic of Capricorn" was also very funny in many places. I guess I haven't read much in the way of comic novels, like stuff by Wodehouse, or Lord Jim or anything. I did read Martin Amis's first book, "The Rachel Papers," but thought it was over-rated.

For a play, "The Importance of Being Earnest."
