If we area going to be that picky about the category I'm pretty sure The Princess Bride wouldn't be categorized as "humor". The film may be a romantic comedy, but the book's main category is "fantasy" and not much in the description indicate otherwise (even though I'm sure those of you that are familiar with it are right).
Whether a book is funny or not is definitely a matter of opinion and I'm pretty sure there are books nominated here that I won't find the least bit entertaining and others (nominated or not) that are not strictly "humor", but rather satire or just plain good entertaining writing (I like well written non-fiction) that will have me chuckling away. If three people agree that a nomination is OK it's good enough for me! |

Also people's diversity to pain tolerance with regards to reading books is interesting. If someone held fire to my feet, I'd read anything.

JSWolf, I was going to give you karma point for pertinacity, but the minimum is two. Sorry.

What is funny was the look on the young man's face at the Dianetics Center when I asked him if it was true that Charles Manson was a dianetic clear. Spoiler:
