I absolutely love it when people ask me for book recommendations. It's so fun for me. Last week, a coworker asked me on Facebook for a book recommendation, and I made this gigantic list with descriptions of each book haha. It was probably a bit more than she expected.
Anyways, just out of curiosity and for fun, I'd like to start this new thing today. I was going to ask "if you could recommend only ONE book for the rest of your life, what would it be?" Then I started to think of what my ONE book would be, and I could not narrow it down to one, because each of the books I like to recommend are so different from one another. So I'm going to narrow it down! I'll do different categories each week, or whenever I feel like it. So today's question is...
If you could recommend only ONE book that made you laugh, what would it be?
My answer for this is Jen Lancaster's, Bitter is the New Black.
I'm really excited to see your answers!

ReplyDeleteThe Year My Life Went Down the Loo by Katie Maxwell.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I would have to say We'd thought You'd be Prettier by Laurie Notaro. She's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI have an award for you!

wow..this is hard.i think i could forever read the whole Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. *wink2*
ReplyDeleteMarley & Me by John Grogan :) Such a pleasant read!
ReplyDeleteI love humor in my reading!
ReplyDeleteI would recommend Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. It's funny, smart, and one heck of a good story.
It is also my favorite book and my fallback rec. :)
Very tough question! LOL! I guess I will recommend The Help by Kathryn Stockett and Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger. Since both left me thinking for a long time!!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells--actually all 3 Ya-Ya books just make me howl!! LOL
ReplyDeleteAnything by David Sedaris makes me laugh out loud like a banshee, no matter how I try to suppress it!
ReplyDeleteJohnny and the bomb by Terry Pratchett.
ReplyDeleteSo funny I laughed the whole way trough the story! Hilarious.
Kind of the Mild Frontier: An Ill-Advised Autobiography by Chris Crutcher. I laughed so hard I couldn't see the words on the page for the tears in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteReally sad - I can't think of a 'funny' book! Most of the ones I read are serious.
ReplyDeleteHowever, my husband has a recommendation for those into sports - Tony Kornheiser's "I'm Back for More Cash." (He's a big sports commentator with several shows.)
And I will admit, the first chapter about taking his kids to the character breakfast at Disney World and the sticky, sugary syrup had me in stitches.
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
ReplyDeleteThe most recent book that really had me laughing was Bridget Jones's Diary.
ReplyDeleteHard one! Probably I'm A Stranger Here Myself by Bill Bryson. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard!
ReplyDeleteOh ... I like the concept. I agree ... you can't just recommend ONE book. It has to be by category. I would probably go with any book by Christopher Moore ... maybe "You Suck" for pure laughter. ("Lamb" was fantastic but had a more serious core too). Jen Lancaster is always a good choice too.
ReplyDeleteAny of the Dr.susses book --make me laugh for the descriptions
ReplyDeleteMy Horizontal Life by Chealsea Handler. I was rolling on the floor laughing!!
ReplyDeleteThe last book I read that had my daughter and I in stitches was Finally by Wendy Mass. It's a middle grade read. Haven't read any adult novels recently that made me laugh as hard.
ReplyDeleteGood Omens is a pretty good choice, but think I'll have to agree with Jenners about Christopher Moore's books if you want laugh out loud funny.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post Steph
ReplyDeleteI would say Groove by Geneva Holiday, all I remember is laughing and loving the story, it was a long time ago I should read it again.
BTW - I came over to give you an award.
