I'm sure stress and anxiety have been getting to all of us. I usually use humor to cope. What are some of the funniest books you have ever read? For me it's the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe "Trilogy", The Princess Beard, and Tales from the Gas station.
Soubhiville I love Terry Pratchett‘s Discworld books, especially the YA Tiffany Aching series for something light. I also love Samantha Irby and Jenny Lawson, for funny essay type memoir writing. 4y

Read-y_Picker That's my go-to movie when I'm down! How about some Terry Pratchett to read? 4y
DaveGreen7777 “Good Omens” by Gaiman and Pratchett is fantastic! Also, sometimes urban fantasy novels with sassy (and funny) heroines cheer me up. “Dead Witch Walking” by Kim Harrison and “Mind Games” by Carolyn Crane helped make me smile during hard times! 4y

LambPatchshank @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Lamb is good. My favorite by Christopher Moore is this one.A Dirty Job: A Novel 4y
A Dirty Job: A NovelPatchshank @DaveGreen7777 Good Omens is one of my favorites. I haven't heard of the other two. I will check them out. 4y
Patchshank @Read-y_Picker For movie are you talking about The Princess Bride? If so that's a good one too. The book and movie are both great. If you like Terry Pratchett you should try The Princess Beard. I feel like its a mix between Pratchett and Christopher Moore. I listened to the audiobook and I was cracking up.The Princess Beard: The Tales of Pell 4y
The Princess Beard: The Tales of PellPatchshank @mdm139 I haven't tried to read the Stephanie Plum series, but my grandma is a huge fan. It's one of her favorites. She says it's really funny. I've been meaning to read it, but haven't gotten around to it yet. 4y
Patchshank @Soubhiville Jenny Lawson is pretty great. I was laughing my ass off when she was talking about working in HR. I can't remember which book it was. 4y
Reggie Sooooooo this has some horror in it but the girl from whom the story is being told is pretty funny. And if you look at the cover you‘re gonna think no way. But I thought it was way more humorous than horrific. And none of it has to do with coronavirus or politics or hate. In fact there‘s this little thing in the end that has to do with why kindness matters in the most off the wall way imaginable. It was sweet in a way.The Hollow Places 4y
The Hollow PlacesPatchshank @Reggie I love when horror and comedy are mixed. I haven't heard of The Hollow Places. If you like horror/comedy I recommend The Tales from the Gas Station series, the John Dies at the End series (not so much the third one, but it's ok), and Hollow Kingdom. 4y
RamsFan1963 I recommend D.L. Hughley's last two books, How Not To Get Shot: And Other Advice From White People & Surrender White People: Our Unconditional Terms for Peace. Especially if you go the audiobook route, his narration made me laugh so hard my sides hurt!! 4y
Patchshank @RamsFan1963 Libby has both as audiobook. I've added them to my list. I miss having a job that let me wear headphones. 4y
