I've only read 7 of them and now there are a few that I may add to my TBR list.

I have read 8. Years ago, when I first read Changing Places by David Lodge (I wasn't yet into science fiction and fantasy back then) my neighbour came asking what funny things I was watching on TV because she had heard me laughing out loud rather often.

Sci-Fi should have had Scalzi's 'Old Man's War' in the list.

I think I've read around ten of them. Which means I still have forty to reach for!! Interesting to see a few titles that I've yet to hear anyone use the term "funny" when describing. Might cause me to give a few a try that I might have otherwise passed over.

Nine here, but Three Men In A Boat should surely be on the list.

Catch-22 when you need a laugh? Really? Great book, but not what I'd turn to for a mood-lightener.
My favorite funny books are Shirley Jackson's two books about her family: Life Among the Savages and Raising Demons. |

I've read five of them and totally agree Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy belongs on the list.
