Did you ever read The Handmaids Tale, by Margaret Atwood?

That will keep you up at night. Amazing, yet haunting.

David Sedaris. His books are made up of short, autobiographical essays-hilarious if you aren't easily offended and don't mind laughing out loud while reading them. Me Talk Pretty One Day is my favorite of his.

Oh dear lord, go to the bookstore or library and get some of Jen Lancaster's reads.

Such A Pretty Fat
Bright Lights, Big ***
Bitter is the New Black

My friend loaned these to me and is about to delete me from her phone because I don't want to give them up! They are so hysterical you will cry.

I've heard good things about Jen Lancasters books. They are on my must-read list!

I love her. Her blog, Jennsylvania.com is also hilarious.

God, I never even got through pride and prejudice. "oh my, her skirts are muddy!" You can stick up your *** :dizzy:

You must try Joe Bennett!

Stella you read my mind... I have nothing to read once I finish message in a bottle :)

I love reading about fundamentalist mormons... kind of weird, I know. Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer is really good. He also wrote Into the Wild.

For fun, easy reading, I like to check out the stuff on Oprah's book club & Target's featured books or whatever they're called.

I've read all of Jen Lancaster's stuff too - I started reading her right after my mom died and it was the first time I could remember laughing since it happened. I had emailed her and she actually responded, so I'm a big fan :)

lol - Icon

That's so cool that she wrote back! I have high hopes for her new one.

Diana Gaboldon's Outlander series involves tiome travel, sexy men in kilts, accents, heroism, historical fiction. That is my fluffy series of choice. A real pleasure.

I love LOVE LOVE The Dresden Files, a sort of fantasy mystery humor novel series. Makes me laugh out loud. I reread my favourite parts. The TV show was BAD but the series only ever gets better.

I am very fond of Neil Gaiman. I liked the Stardust movie better, though, but Anasi Boys, American Gods are wway up there.

Eat Pray Love was really, really great., You felt like you were chatting with your best friend.


The above i have read multiple times. Yes, reread whole series'. I heart reading.

The Pirates! in an Adventure with Communists by Gideon Defoe. And yes, it is as ridiculous as the title suggests.

i've just found meg cabot is quite funny. Her books are cute in a way.
Also, if you want heart warming stories, I suggest read everything "chicken soup for the soul" - any book in this series.

If you like zombies you should check out World War Z.

It wasn't really funny, but was an amazing and innovative way to tell a story. :)

My DH reads his books.. craaaazy guy.

I suggest the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. They are hilarious! Has lots of humor, little bit of romance.. great series.. its all the way up to book 15 now. Love them!
