Feeling tired at the moment of heavy sad books and books that require a lot of perseverance to get through. I’m looking for a fun, laugh out loud funny book that you could not put down. Nothing dark, nothing sad. Just a fun read that sucks you in from the beginning.

American Desperado Jon Roberts
Anything written by Jenny Lawson. Disclaimer: she does talk about heavy subjects but in a hilarious way. I don’t often laugh out loud while reading but I did with her books.
Project Hail Mary
The answer is no
That Guy by Kim Jones.
*Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy* by Douglas Adams
Going postal by terry pratchett
Black No More by George Schuyler. Think Catch 22 but about 1930s race relations in the US. What if evey black person in the US had the chance to turn white? Now imagine the social and economic fallout that would ensue. It’s hilarious, and at times bleak satire that really delves into issues that are still being seen today.
It’s very short and super easy to read.
I would say Fanny Flagg’s books. There some minor drama, but they’re overall very funny feel-good books.
Anything by Samantha Irby.
*The Husbands* by Holly Gramazio cracked me up! Very lighthearted and fun with a bizarre (magical realism) premise.
The Rosie Project. It’s a rom com. Very enjoyable with great characters.
Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome
The Martian. Ready Player One. Life of Pi. The Name of the Wind.
Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, by Christopher Moore.
I have 3 suggestions.
1. The Goat Brothers By Larry Colton,
Should be required reading for all highschool seniors.
2. A Fine Balance By Rohan Mistry,
The Book that got me back to reading.
3. L A. Rex By Will Beall
This should be a T.V. series.
Anything by Rose George, Judy Melinek, Caitlin Doughty, or Mary Roach. All very interesting, about subjects you never considered.
