All the Bill Bryson travel books are funny, I still love them. The problem is the funny bits creep up on you so make you laugh out loud really suddenly in public places! Notes from a small island is perfection to me and makes me love Britain even more every time I read it.

yup, I'm a fan of Lord Harry Flashman too.

I always remember the one where he's living with the Native Americans and impresses them with his horsemanship. They name him 'he who rides faster than the wind' and he is very impressed with this title until they shorten it to 'windbreaker'.

Childish I know but I can't help laughing at it.

The Observer is claiming that Flann O'Brien's 'At Swim Two Birds' is in the top 10 English language novels. It is very very funny indeed, particularly the biographical bits, but a bit more of a challenging read.

Nice one Matt but I suspect the cover is funnier than the content 🙂

Nope but now you are making me think I should check it. Is this a genuine recommendation?

Adolf Hitler My Part in his Downfall by Spike Milligan and Bill Brysons Notes From a Small Island are two books that left me at times unable to breath and in physical pain with my eyes streaming.
An effect almost as lethal as Monty Pythons funniest joke in the world used to disable the entire German army.

"I had a few days off work one September. I fancied Assynt, but then I have always fancied Assynt. If Assynt was a boy, I would have knocked him to the ground with a rugby tackle and pulled his trousers down years ago."

I almost died just reading out the toity jar" episode in Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid. I think part of the joy of Bill Bryson's writing is he never seems like he's trying to be funny. The mysterious instrument on the hire car dashboard with one needle which moved very slowly and another which appeared to barely move at all, in Notes From A Small Island is another fine one.
