My personal take is that writing genuine humor is probably the hardest when it comes to novels and short stories. Some of the funniest books that I love include:
* the Adrian Mole series
* How I Became a Famous Novelist by Steve Hely
* Christmas Pudding and Highland Fling by Nancy Mitford
(and, doesn’t really count as a book or short story, but I adore the humor of the classic Calvin and Hobbes comics)
If anyone has any recommendations of genuinely funny reads, I’m all ears. Dark, ironic and sardonic humor is also fine, but ideally looking for somewhat less intensity if possible. Satire is always good.

hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is always funny and one that i’ve recently read which is just pure comedy gold in my opinion is ‘the theory of everything else: a voyage into the world of weird’ by Dan Schreiber 🙂
