@savanto: Once is not enough was written by Jacqueline Susann and not Sydney Sheldon, and while it is one of my favorite books, I fail to see the humor in it. |

I can't recall any particular titles for novels other than Grisham's The Rainmaker [which has been mentioned] and A number of Hadley Chase stuff. However, i could put up quite a list of short stories. Anton Chekhov's Story Without a Title is totally hilarious! But you'd have to wait till the end to feel the kick. And then pretty much everything by H. H. Munroe [Saki]. This includes Esme, The Story Teller, The Elk, Herman the Irascible, and Shock Tactics. |

chivaley: @savanto: Once is not enough was written by Jacqueline Susann and not Sydney Sheldon, and while it is one of my favorite books, I fail to see the humor in it. May God bless you! I've been wondering how Once Is Not Enough by Susanne turned to Sheldon's book. And funny? Nah, it isn't. They might have said that Valley Of The Dolls was written by Shakespeare. |

Ticktock-by Dean Koontz. The book is a rib cracker from the very first page to the last. Even Mr Koontz admitted to deliberately making the story that funny because he was trying to de-stress himself after the goin thru the psychological intensity of writing "Dark Rivers of the Heart". Another extra-ordinarily funny classic is "Great Ponds" by Elechi Amadi. I read the book during my service year some years back,and in the two/three days it took me to finish the story,i was able to forget the misery of my sorroundings {NYSC stuck me in a tiny little hamlet in the middle of nowhere} because i was too busy laughing. Mr Amadi is one of Africa's best writers |

Tick Tock? That book has been lying in my shelf for months, I have no idea that it's hilarious. I better go and grab it now. I know that Koontz can spin a hilarious yarn after reading Bruno and his Odd Thomas series. TickTock! Here I come! |
Re: Which Novel Has Made You Crack Your Rib With Laughter? by Ishilove: 1:32pm On Jun 27, 2012 |
Larry-Sun:I've read Bruno. . .it's interesting but i didnt find it all that funny. Same goes for Odd Thomas |
