Hello,
I try to read more non-fiction this year, and for now I have been mainly in true crime and some memoirs/biographies/autobiographies (and not really funny ones as I tried myself at politicians, people who lived traumatic events and physicians…).
I am searching for something that would stay a non-fiction but loaded with humour, even dark humour or embarrassing moments in life not taken too seriously and joked about.
For reference, I think about David Sedaris. I am searching for this kind of memoir/autobiography/non-fiction.
Thank you all !

Have you tried out Bill Bryson’s travel books?
Both of these authors wrote about serious matters, but on numerous occasions they were able to highlight some of the humorous situations they came across:
* *The Battle for Burma: The Wild Green Earth* by BG Bernard Fergusson KT, GCMG, GCVO, DSO, OBE, 16th Infantry Brigade (Chindit).
* *A Change in Jungles* by BG Miles Smeeton, DSO, MBE, MC, British Indian Army.
How to Talk Dirty and Influence People by Lenny Bruce is a fantastic read.
If you liked David Sedaris, you might like Augusten Burroughs “Possible Side Effects”.
