I don't have much reference to provide here. Most books I read are total bummers.

I have read two funny books ever. First one is The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy whose humour I appreciated. The second one is Good Soldier Svejk which I thought was alright.

Any thoughts? Thank you.

    I feel like the modern funny vibes are in the small publisher and independent works lately. Just as an industry trend you know. Nebula prize nominee Chuck Tingle writes some genuinely clever ones but they are romance based. "Trans Wizard Harriet Porber and the Bad Boy Parasaurolophus" is legitimately better than a Harry Potter book.

        Yeah, he's real, if I remember rightly he's extremely autistic and best expresses himself through, uh, satirical erotic literature. His niece or daughter is the one who introduced it to the wider world, he mostly secludes himself and Chuck Tingle is a pseudonym.
