Riotous Assembly and Blott on the Landscape by Tom Sharpe are both good for a giggle.

The Thought Gang is the second novel by English author Tibor Fischer, published in 1994. According to the Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide (2003), it was ‘one of the funniest and most imaginative novels of the last twenty years’

Enjoyed them both.

Probably Fight Club or American Psycho. Both incredibly dark, funny and better than the film versions.

Although watching Bad Monkey has reminded me how funny Carl Hiassen’s writing is. Native Tongues & Skin Tight both good examples.

Most of the Discworld series, especially after the first couple of books and he’s honed his craft a bit.

The Liar by Stephen Fry was also very good on that front I thought.

In the the (later) introduction to this

Brookmyre explains that he was mainlining Hiassen when he wrote it and several bits are closely related. So I’d recommend the above too.

The goldfinch _ Donna tartt is a superb long read,

It has a few funny moments, but it’s not funny

Now I know you’re lying, as if there’s anything other than a gentleman sausage down there!

The Brentford Trilogy ( which had about five parts the last time I checked) by Robert Rankin Fleming is a good laugh.
