The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion to that list.

Don Tillman, a genetics professor, has decided he needs a wife, so he starts The Wife Project. However, he soon meets Rosie who wants to locate her biological father, and so The Rosie Project happens. A lot of what makes it hilarious is that Tillman clearly is on the spectrum (Asperger's, which alas is no longer a separate diagnosis) but is also clearly oblivious to that.

I had the pleasure of meeting the author at a book event when it first came out.

I love aspie characters! Lol

in my opinion.

Simsion has also written another, entirely different book, The Best of Adam Sharpe.

gives me some other titles to look for.

With all the tension of late, I thought this list might be helpful.

Confederacy of Dunces, but just could not get into it. One of the very few books I DNF'd at the time.

I have not read all of them yet but have enjoyed all that I have read

I laughed myself sick reading this book.

Forever after, the color pink will remind you of this book!

I'll check it out!

It's a story about a duck and a kid who builds fences on his Grandfathers property...

Also "A Star is Bored" by her Personal Assistant Byron Layne. Absolutely laugh-out-loud funny. But touching as well.

I read "Three Men in a Boat" years ago. I guess I'd call it amusing rather than funny.

That one was amusing. But Hitchhicker's Guide, on the other hand, had me Funniest book I ever read.

I believe it was on Public Television. Very well done!

Life Among The Savages & Raising Demons by Shirley Jackson (yes THAT Shirley Jackson) I first read these when I was about eleven; they are among the few books I have read more than once. They are about her life in a drafty old farmhouse in Vermont with her husband and their five children.

Auntie Mame, Around the World With Auntie Mame and The Joyous Season all by Patrick Dennis. My favorite is The Joyous Season which chronicles a year in the lives of a brother and sister after all hell breaks loose on Christmas morning. It is a hoot, and I wish someone would make a movie from it.
