I have never read a book that has made me laugh. I have chuckled or snorted, but never laughed out loud as if I read or heard a really funny joke. So I'm looking for my first book that can make me do so. I know it's possible as comics and manga have made me cackle in the past.
So far books have made me: cry, get angry, made me go "whoa" out loud, cheer, and almost every other emotion humans have.
I mostly like 3rd person books with a pretty descriptive, natural flowing narrative, think Lord of the Rings, Blood Meridian, Neverwhere; but will read anything that is suggested if it looks interesting.

Jana DeLeon Miss Fortune series and Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich are both laugh out loud light mysteries.
It’s in first person, so take this with a grain of salt, but I’ve never laughed as loud as when I read “The Haters” by Jesse Andrews. It’s a YA book about music/band kids, and I think it might be the first fiction book I’ve ended up breathless with laughter.
Slaughterhouse 5 made me laugh and cry and rage all at the same time. But there’s always Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy if that doesn’t do it for you
