I realized I never actually read a book that was funny or a comedy despite reading being one of my main sources of leisure. I don't know how to describe my humor but I consider the show "It's always sunny in Philadelphia" to be the funniest piece of media I've ever had the pleasure of consuming, never watched an episode that didn't get a good laugh out of me at least once.

David Sedaris is one of the funniest authors I’ve read.
As far as absurdist humor like IASIP, depends – does it need to be contemporary?
You should try “A Confederacy of Dunces” or “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” for absurd humor. If you prefer satire, “Good Omens” and “Lucky Jim” are great picks.
