    I recently read Quantum Physics Made Me Do It by Jeremie Harris, and I went through it at a breakneck pace because of how hilarious it was. The author made the whole narrative fun and accessible. It was a science book, but I was amazed by how engaging it was without getting too technical. Even the most complex topics were simplified in a humerous way.

    Can I get suggestions for something similar?
    Anything that’s informative while being hilarious.

      Bill Bryson wrote some good general-knowledge topics.  at home, the body, mother tongue, a short history of nearly everything.

      I would suggest ***What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions*** by Randall Munroe.

      Highly recommend the Asimov non-fiction science essay collections. Short essays on a multitude of topics written in a style that feels like you’re in a one on one conversation with a teacher after class. There is a bit of humor, but also a lot of advanced topics simplified and broken down so anyone can comprehend it.

      I personally would recommend The Nudge by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein!

      It is not necessarily hilarious per se but their use of easily relatable examples (while poking fun at the academia) as they explore the absurdity and predictability of human behaviour will surely make you go ‘Ahh.. that explains it!’

      Had a lot of unexpected fun reading it.

      Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott. it’s a “love” story told in geometry and is short but so, so brilliant.
