These are in no particular order.
- The Martian by Andy Weir
- Leave it to Psmith or The Golf Omnibus by P.G. Wodehouse- Really any book by Wodehouse is guaranteed laughs.
- Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen- Most all of Austen's novels will make me laugh at some point but especially those two.
- The Pushcart War by Jean Merrill
- Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare
- On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness by Andrew Peterson
- The Best Things in Life: A Contemporary Socrates Looks at Power, Pleasure, Truth and the Good Life by Peter Kreeft
- A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain
- Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
- The Importance of Being Ernest by Oscar Wilde
- The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
- The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson
I did some serious cutting down of this list to try and make it ten (it used to be about twenty) but I simply couldn't cut it down anymore. These are the books that just about guarantee me a laugh every time I read them.

Yay for someone else who knows about The Phantom Tollbooth! And P&P and Alice and Much Ado! :)
ReplyDeleteThey're some of my favorites. :)
DeleteYes to The Importance of being honest and P & P; absolutely enjoyable! :D
ReplyDeleteI judged The Martian as a serious one, without reading it. Though, Sci-fi isn't my cup of tea, now I'm a tidbit tempted to read it now.
It's serious in some ways but most of all it's just a bowl of laughter!
DeleteHow could I leave off Phantom Tollbooth!
ReplyDeleteLove your list.
