Guys need your help!

Humour is a big genre, but I'll suggest a few authors with very different styles of humour anyway (apologies if you have already read any of them).

P.G. Wodehouse - very English, gentle humour from a bygone age much of which can be found on this very site for free in the Patricia Clark Memorial Library.

Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy (Douglas Adams) - sci-fi based comedy. The books are far better than the film!

Disc World (Terry Pratchett) - fantasy based comedy. Hugely successful.

Carl Hiaasen - quite dark satirical comedies set in the corrupt world of modern day Florida.

I'm sure other people will chip in, but hopefully that's a good start.
