It’s my first Top 5 Tuesday in a few weeks, and it’s a great one to come back on. As someone who takes in a lot of comedy in many, many different mediums, I dig doing a list of the top 5 books to make me laugh!
Neanderthal Opens the Door to the Universe
Very recent, and very funny. Recommend to everyone on the planet.
Choke
This was one of the first ‘funny’ books that I ever read. I fell in love with it and went searching for more.
Illuminae Files
I’ve only read the first two of the trilogy, but they’re brimming with LOL moments.
Catch 22
A lot of strange stuff going on in this book, and most of it funny. There’s also some real wisdom hidden in among the funnies, too.
Hitchhiker’s Guide
Even the fact that the series is referred to as “A Trilogy in Five Parts” tells you this is going to be some very funny stuff. And it is. My particular favourite might have to be the alien that flies around the universe confronting beings on an alphabetical list and telling them they’re stupid.
P.S. Top 5 Tuesday is my favourite weekly meme and it’s hosted by Shanah the Bionic Book Worm.
I was so close to adding the Illuminae books! They definitely made me laugh! And I was almost going to pick up Hitchhikers Guide last week. Still haven’t read it yet lol
Thanks for participating – added you to the list 🙂
Love your choices and yeah, you’ve got The Hitchhiker’s Guide in there, a brilliantly funny book-deadpan!
So good!
Have you watched the TV series? Very funny too.
No. But I think I was one of the few people that enjoyed the movie!
Night night Joen 😉 Joke aside I haven’t read these books but the Illumina is written by Jay Kristoff and one of the best things about Lifel1k3 was the sarcastic banter so I believe you!
Choke made me laugh too, it is so weird and hilarious… I love Pahlaniuk’s writing. Great list!
OH yes – despite being quite. well, scary and a rollercoaster of emotions, at times, the Illuminae files series does have some really funny moments, too, haha, I love it 🙂
Lovely list! 🙂
