Ummm... to be perfectly honest, I missed the part in your original post which said July's topic was to be humor. I think the one I reacted to as serious was A Confederacy of Dunces and its billing as "an important part of the 'modern canon' of Southern literature".

And, to give us a bit more to choose from, I'll second (or third) Life With Father.
