What book(s) made you laugh the first time you read it and still do when you re-read them? (If you do not re-read then just respond to the first part.) I loved Gordon Korman growing up and still re-read some of them when I need some really light reading. For instance, I Want To Go Home still makes me laugh continually throughout the book. It is about a teenager who keeps trying to escape from an island summer camp he did not want to attend. I find his incessant comments hilarious and still read this book at least once a year just for the laughs.

I’m just gonna say Pratchett before anyone else gets to this thread.
Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson. Honestly anything by Jenny Lawson is great.
when i read Apathy and Other Small Victories by Paul Neilan, i was unable to turn a page without laughing. it’s absurd. it’s just the right amount of weird.
“I was just being honest and descriptive.”
“No, you were being an asshole.”
“It’s not my fault they have to always be the same thing.”
The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell is laugh out loud funny.
David Sedaris
I can’t read his books in public. I laugh so loud.
Especially: Me Talk Pretty One Day and When You Are Engulfed in Flames.
I sometimes think about bits from Evelyn Waugh’s *Decline and Fall* out of nowhere and laugh out loud every time.
I’ve only read these as audiobooks, and absolutely think the narrators add.
Between by LL Starling was hilarious and maybe even better on reread. I mean, who doesn’t love a drunk unicorn? I’d have to pause it to catch my breath I was laughing so hard.
Clocktaur Wars duology by Kingfisher is pretty entertaining. Who doesn’t want to contemplate all the ways someone could kill you and what your best option may be? On reread, there is a part I tend to skip over at the end, but overall great books.
Hmm, Hitchhikers Guide has been mentioned along with Catch 22 and many other great books…
Lamb by Christopher Moore is hysterical and will always make me laugh out loud.
