Yes, me. Sort of. I found occasional good joke laughs, but for the most part as
dwig observed a low chuckle satire of what Waugh observed when in LA at the time. Then I seldom find books to be laugh out loud funny. Trying to think of one all that comes to my mind immediately would be
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. If you are familiar with that book I'll eagerly await your proof of it's lack of humor.
You did not find this at all funny. We've got it. What I read of
Midnight Riot I did not even understand why it was in this category. Moving on.

Because the humor was about death and the way it was treated in that location and time? People had to die right and left to do that. Also mocking the whole idea of such an advice column?
