Monday Discussion: Book That Make You Laugh

For today's Monday Discussion I found inspiration in a discussion we had back in July of 2010: Books That Make You Laugh.  In that post I mention the Spellman Files mystery series by Lisa Lutz. Since I am currently reading the newest entry in that series, I thought it was a good time to revisit that discussion.

As I was looking back at the 2010 discussion, I found that while some of the books I listed there still make me laugh, I have encountered more titles that made me giggle in the last three years.

Also, humor is such a personal thing. What makes me laugh, will not necessarily make the patron standing in front of me who is asking for a "funny" book laugh too. But, asking as many people as possible for books that they find funny, will help to ensure a wider sense of humor is considered.

So for today's Monday Discussion, let's work together to make a list of the books that make us laugh.

I will go first.  Along with that I listed here, I would also add:

• Where'd You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple
• The Last Policeman by Ben Winters 
• The Sister's Brothers by Patrick de Witt
• The Chew graphic novel series by John Layman and Rob Guillory

As you can see, my sense of humor is a bit macabre and quirky.  I know not everyone shares this feeling though and for them it is an entirely different type of book that is funny.

So help me build a more well rounded list of funny books.  Throw out some titles of books that make you laugh and together we can hit everyone's funny bone in the right spot.
