Funniest Book Ever

What a tragic story about John Kennedy Toole killing himself before this was published.
I think one of the funniest things I ever read was a character in "Gravity's Rainbow" describing British candy.

I didn't think Bright Lights, Big City was all that funny, though it had good moments. Portnoy's complaint is excellent, though. That was gut-bustingly funny at some points.

It nearly killed me when reading the guying wondering when he was going to beat off so much and so violently he would come blood.

And when he really thought about the magnitude of his startling insight that all women have C-U-N-T-S. ALL OF THEM.

For F___ING !!!

Some sections of that book were one cripplingly hard laugh after another.

I probably laughed harder at Portnoy's Complaint, but Catch-22 was by far the better book. Excellent choice though.

Anything by Vonnegut or Catch 22.

"The Good Soldier Svejk." It's a war satire about WWI, funnier than Catch 22 IMO.

There's a German book called Good Soldier Schweik or something like that, same sort of theme. I wonder which one came first.

Huh, are you sure we're not thinking of the same book? The one I'm talking about is by a Czech guy named Jaroslav Hasek. Written right about the time of the 1st World War.

The Ginger Man by J.P. Dunleavy.

That is, if you consider the careenings of a sociopathic drunk funny. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Oh man, how could I have forgotten "Candy"...

Kind of old-skool, but I think Vanity Fair is also up there. Not laugh-out-loud kind of funny, but very witty.

You think using underage hookers for turkey stuffing is funny?

A.) You don't think it was intended to be?
B.) You don't think it WAS funny?
