At the bookstore, occasionally a customer will ask if I can recommend a funny book “one that will make me laugh.” My go-to is, at the moment, P. G. Wodehouse, but, at times, I also recommend Tim Dorsey, Gergory Maguire, Christopher Moore (none of whom I have read), or–of course–Douglas Adams (by whom I have read everything). One of my favorite Steinbeck novels is Cannery Row (or it’s sequel, Sweet Thursday), because they are comedies.
What would you recommend? Are there books that make you laugh?
