Hi friends,

I've enjoyed Christopher Moore books and a few years back, I laughed heartily at the works of P. G. Wodehouse. I enjoy Neil Gaiman works too, but I don't like David Sedaris's work. Somehow they never made me laugh, despite his works having high rating. Maybe he is not my type. Based on these can someone please recommend some hilarious novels and short story collections.

Thanks in advance.

Carl Hiaasen has a number of good books that have made me laugh over the years.

Tom Holt does a lot of comedy on the fantasy/SF side. The Thursday Next and Nursery Crime series by Jasper Fforde are worth trying

Thraxas books by Martin Scott.
The Compleat Enchanter by L. Sprague DeCamp and Fletcher Pratt.
The Lighter Side by Keith Laumer.

I've started Puckoon by Spike Milligan, thanks.

The Thursday Next was on my radar, but somehow forgot about it. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll try it.

Tangled by Emma Chase did genuinely make me laugh. You'll adore Drew.

Robert Rankin, some of his books just to give you a hint -

Nostradamus Ate My Hamster.
The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse.
The Da-da-de-da-da Code.
Raiders of the Lost Car Park.

Puckoon is incredible. Although I started it long back had been busy with my academics. I started it again in the new year and finished it the same day. That was so damn hilarious. Thank you. I'd be very grateful if you can suggest some more books that are in the same vein as Puckoon. Thank you Scunzero.

You should have a look at Spike Milligan's War Memoirs, in order -

1 Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall (1971)
2 "Rommel?" "Gunner Who?" (1974)
3 Monty: His Part in My Victory (1976). This and the previous two books were released and publicised as the first, second and third part respectively of a trilogy.
4 Mussolini: His Part in My Downfall (1978). This was announced as the fourth part of his "increasingly misnamed" trilogy.
5 Where Have All the Bullets Gone? (1985)
6 Goodbye Soldier (1986)
7 Peace Work (1992).

I saw you read Christopher Moore, did you read Lamb? It is still one of my all time favorites.
