funny books

Second/third/fourth Pratchett and Moore. Almost all the disc world of Pratchett, and esp Lust Lizard and Island of Sequined Love Nun of Moore. Although The Stupidest Angel is a scream as well. For more serious (sort of) Moore, Lamb is phenomenal.

For broad/slapstick humor, try Selina Rosen's The Queen of Denial (space opera with a great anti-heroine).

For sly/subtle humor, try Evelyn Smith's Miss Melville Regrets and sequels (woman at the end of her financial rope plans to kill herself publicly, and ends up killing someone else, starting a new career as assassin).

For subtle humor and Egyptology and a bit of romance (but nothing schmaltzy), try Elizabeth Peters' Crocodile on the Sandbank and sequels. To hear the heroine describe her husand's feeling about their toddler son ' my husband "is obsessed with the creature" just cracks me up. Great adventures.
