I usually read very heavy emotional books, so once in a while I need a breather. Something light to make me laugh. Notes to Boys by Pamela Ribon is the funniest book I’ve ever read. Books very rarely have me laughing out loud, but Notes to Boys is hysterical. I think I love a sort of “mortifying” vibe. Other books that have made me giggle were Happy Hour by Marlowe Granados and I Remember Nothing: and Other Reflections by Nora Ephron.

I’m a bit of a Terryvangelist, but the Discworld books have often made me laugh out loud in a public setting. There are 40 of them and they are ALL worth multiple reads
Bill Bryson: a walk in the woods or the Thunderbolt Kid…
Any Tom Robbins, Skinny Legs and All, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Still Life With Woodpecker, Jitterbug Perfume, anything he writes is mind blowing. His books are described as “seriocomedies”.
