Author Comments: 

These are books that are a joy to read. They make you smile, chuckle and occasionally burst out laughing. People around you will wonder what the heck is so funny, and they'll try to steal a surreptitious glance at the title you're reading. Of course, everybody has their own idea of funny.

I have only included one book from each author, although several have written many funny books, e.g., Bill Bryson, Nick Hornby, P.G. Wodehouse, etc.
