Well, satire really works for me... beyond that, I enjoy witty repartee but those are really hard to come by. Frankly, I agree with the OP. I rarely find a "funny" book funny.
I suppose I'm spoilt by my reading choices as a child: "Yes Minister" has kept me entertained over the years and stands out as an all time favourite for me. Also, Tom Sharpe is a must read. Honestly. If you haven't read Tom Sharpe, you've missed something. Start with "Wilt"... I almost had a bathroom accident I was laughing so hard. Of course, if you go back and read it a second time, its still funny, but then you realise Sharpe is ripping the establishment to shreds.
