Funniest Book Ever

[Al Mirpuri]

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.

"Bored of the Rings" by the Harvard Lampoon has my vote. There are many books that are funny and better, but I can't think of any off the top of my head that made me laugh more.

I agree. I love that book. And I love Will Ferrell (and David Gordon Green), but this casting sucks: confederacy of dunces movie

I also thought 'The World According to Garp' was very funny. NT

John Goldfarb, Please Come Home by Blatty should be on this list too.

Does non-fiction count? If so, Sedaris's stuff always has me laughing out loud.

Along a similar but more scatological line, Jonathan Ames is pretty funny.

My vote goes to Catch 22 by a big margin. Vonnegut has many very funny books but none are close to Catch 22.
