Let's say you are planning a trip and would like a book or two that will cause you to laugh out loud. A quiet smile would be nice but you want novels that are likely to produce a full laugh.
Which authors (and books) would be contenders?
You first. I'll add my choices later.
Classic - Catch-22
ReplyDeleteNew book - How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, by Scott Adams

Bobbo,
ReplyDeleteI have that but haven't started reading it.
Will begin soon.
Thanks for the recommendation.

Anything by Bill Bryson. A Walk in the Woods is still my favorite and resulted in several concerned looks on a long-ago Southwest Airlines flight.
ReplyDeleteCrusty,
ReplyDeleteI can still recall Katz and his Snickers bars.

John Irving - A Prayer for Owen Meany
ReplyDeleteThe Calvin Becker Trilogy by Frank Schaeffer. Thanks for asking! E.
E,
ReplyDeleteI have not read any of those. Thanks for recommending them.

I love Bill Bryson, but I’m more likely to chuckle with him than laugh out loud. On the other hand, anything by Carl Hiaasen is guaranteed to make me laugh loud enough that people turn their heads.
ReplyDeleteWally,
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Carl Hiassen is one of my favorites. I think "Tourist Season," "Stormy Weather" and "Skin Tight" are hard to beat.
Michael
P.S. Make that Hiaasen.
