Funniest. Novel. Ever.

The Paper Cuts blog at the New York Times asks the burning question:  What’s the Funniest Novel Ever?  Their answer includes a virtual plethora of novels by white men from the 18th and 20th centuries.  More interesting are the many comments left by readers with their picks for funniest novel ever.  Check out their responses and add your own. 

Or post a comment here with your hilarious favorite!  I’ll start:  Truer than True Romance by Jeanne Martinet.  Martinet takes old romance comics from the 50s and 60s and takes out the words in the captions and the balloons, replacing them with a modern take on romance.  The new stories include:  “My Heart Said Yes, but My Therapist Said No!” and “Too Dumb for Love!”  Perhaps it’s not Wodehouse, but it’s pretty darn funny.  (Carol J.)
