    Funniest book I’ve ever read is;

    “Don’t Tell Mom I Work on the Rigs: She Thinks I’m a Piano Player in a Whorehouse”

    Just read it.

    I found a lot of “The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid” by Bill Bryson to have a lot of laugh of loud parts. Even on the 3rd reading that are parts that made me laugh.

    Ha! The set piece about the diner where they used to wind up the owner by putting insects in the soup. I thought I was going to have a seizure.

    The Thought Gang by Tibour Fischer is actually laugh out loud funny.

    +1. “Under the Frog” is also very good.

    Most P. J. O’Rourke books are great (despite his republican leanings) – “Parliament of Whores” would be my favourite.

    “Scoop” by Evelyn Waugh.

    Any of the “South American” novels of Louis de Bernieres. Better known for Captain Corelli’s Mandolin but not many laughs there. Try:

    “The War of Don Emmanuel’s Nether Parts”
    “Senor Vivo and the Coca Lord”
    “The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman”

    Full of outrageous Latin-American stereotypes but very funny.

    It’s a toss up between Charlie Richardson or Ronnie Woods autobiographies. Ronnie was comical but Charlie had me almost pee my pants at the end.
