Money by Martin Amis
Erasure by Percival Everett
White Noise by Don DeLillo
Remainder by Tom McCarthy
Finnegans Wake by James Joyce
Why none other then the idiot, it seems like everything myshkin says is either so ridiculously autistic you can't help but crack up out of awkwardness, or its the most poignant observation anyone has ever made. Either way it was hilarious all the way through
you don't get it, we must think of infinite idiots
Cliche, but A Confederacy Of Dunces made me laugh like no book ever has. Knickerbocker's History Of New York is surprisingly funny too for being over 200 years old
>A soaking wet Connors pushed open the flap and slogged inside. The rain beat furiously outside. He looked at the mud floor. "I am a swave and deboner army aviator," he said.
>"The word is suave," I said.
>"Not over here it ain't."
unironically houellebecq's novels were pretty funny
The Time Machine Did It by John Schwartzwelder, probably the best comedy novel I've read
This was very funny.
Also The Third Policeman, Scoop, Wise Blood, and Paul Auster’s books.
Frogs by Aristophanes
Birds by Aristophanes
Dialogue of the Gods by Lucian of Samosata
forgot to say the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer as well
>Frogs by Aristophanes

Canterbury Tales, the part where Chaucer's character gets roasted had me laughing for a good 20 minutes.
Suttree
Blood Meridian
The Passenger
Decline and Fall
A Handful of Dust
The Sound and the Fury (Just the Jason section)
The Lonesome West
Dead Souls
The Sun also Rises (mostly Bill. Sometimes Mike. Jake gets a few zingers in as well)
Pynchon's books make me laugh, or at least give me a state of amusement. Like the Takashi character dealing with the Godzilla aftermath in Vineland
The relationship between the bar owner and his wife in Alan Harrington's The White Rainbow. Also, the closing of Harrington's Paradise One.
Ferdydurke
The Job at the Bookstore Where the guy just tells you basically only 4 people work here
The Divine Comedy
this might be the only book that makes me laugh out loud while reading it
Kafka’s oeuvre.

Yosarrian trying to escape a system that ties him down, losing all his buddies, someone goes missing, someone gets raped..
The Plays of Plautus
e-girlta
Twelfth Night
The Short Stories of Gogol and the Government Inspector (especially)
Oh and all those Hunter S. Thompson articles/Fear and Loathing.
Why am I still here
glazed neon ofc. and anything HST
the scene in volume 1 of the gulag archipelago where the author talks about how library books contain descriptions of people eating food was the only time I remember laughing out loud. Snickers here and there though, but that time was special
Hunter S Thompson books
I’m not sure if it’s as funny to people who haven’t been in the military, but it definitely is worth it if you have
Diary of a wimpy kid
World As Will And Representation
No, really. Schopies constant jabs at Fichte made me go "Ha!" out loud.
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Tropic of Cancer
Pretty much anything about the Holocaust
>I'm 14 years old, shockjocking my way through threads
Jews died in the Holocaust. It will never be funny.
