I nominate The Night Life of the Gods by Thorne Smith.

I read it in 1973 and loved it, and I'd enjoy reading it again.

It is available here in the Patricia Clark MobileRead Library.

"Thorne Smith's rapid-fire dialogue, brilliant sense of the absurd, and literary aplomb put him in the same category as the beloved P. G. Wodehouse. The Night Life of the Gods--the madcap story of a scientist who instigates a nocturnal spree with the Greek gods--is arguably his most sparkling comedic achievement."
