What’s the funniest book you’ve read recently? Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response at Booking Through Thursday!Welll.....I don't read many "funny" books, at least not recently (as I peruse my book journal). I tend to read books with a degree of funny like:
Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann
The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin
Beowulf on the Beach by Jack Murnighan
and Shakespeare Wrote for Money by Nick Hornby.
The last truly "funny" book I read (one meant to make you bust a gut at times) was probably
First Amongst Sequels by Jasper Fforde
and that released in 2007. I'm not counting "listenings" in this list because Thursday is my road-trip buddy and the last listen of a Thursday book was about three weeks ago.
I think I prefer "snark" to "funny" (which probably explains why I liked Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris).
*"ha-ha" is one of my favorite words; it is a laugh, a sort-of sunken ditch/retaining wall, and a novel by Dave King.
Beowulf on the Beach looks like it might be really good!

Hi, there. Thanks so much for the shout-out. Also for the link to the Goodreads page, though I have to admit some of those comments were a very mixed blessing.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I send my best, and happy reading.
