I tried to read Three Men in a Boat but I found I did not find it all that funny. So yes, humor is a very subjective thing.

Take Discworld for example. It helps to have read a lot of fantasy books so you can understand some of the jokes. Some of it is very subtle and some of it is hit-you-on-the-head. But I do find it funny and do laugh. Oh and some of the humor is very British. So it helps to like British humor as well.
