I'm challenging myself to read (and enjoy) genres outside of my typical wheel house (variety of genres but usually I gravitate to historical, gut-wrenching, dark, or dystopian books).
Currently I've attempted to read Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy and Catch-22 to fulfill the comedy book. Both have felt like a chore to get through, and I just haven't enjoyed the reading experience.
I think that it's possibly the levels of absurdism in the novels that are turning me off? So if I could get some recommendations for comedy books that feel more grounded that would be greatly appreciated!
