Depends on your sense of humor, naturally, but I think Donald E. Westlake’s Dortmunder books are hilarious.

A hidden gem is Kick Me by Paul Feig. The Director/Producer digs up the most embarrassing/mortifying stories of his upbringing and delivers it in book form.

I’m a big Christopher Moore fan; I’d suggest _Fool_ or _Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal_. The former is bawdier, and is better if you at least know the rough story of King Lear (it’s a parody of the Shakespeare play, told from the point of view of Lear’s fool), and with the latter, of course, you have to be willing to tolerate religious parody.

Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson. I was cracking up the entire time, and it’s a great audiobook too.

Swordheart by T Kingfisher: a cozy fantasy about a widow and a magic sword, hilarious, a little bit of romance.
Or The Elf Tangent by Lindsay Buroker: banter, a journey to save the world thanks to the power of macroeconomics.

Jana DeLeon Miss Fortune series and Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich are both laugh out loud light mysteries.

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. Laugh out loud funny, dark humour.

I don’t know if you like non fiction but Bill Bryson is laugh out loud funny. Notes from a big country is a collection of stories, or articles, and I laughed until tears came.
Also his book about climbing the Appalachian trail is very funny.
