I like microhumor in my books—little asides and pithy descriptions that motivate me to follow the author on his masturbatory PoMo journey. White Noise does this. Infinite Jest does this. Portnoy's Complaint does this. Taipei does this. Even Book of Numbers does this, as it tries to squeeze blood from poorly vascularized sediment.
But when you guys recommend "humorous novels", you recommend...Gulliver's Travels? A Modest Proposal? A Dirty Job?
Fucking really? Are you still in grade school? Do you guys actually read this shit?

That chart is only a bait for plebes.

you know, it may be written "Veeky Forums's guide" but this is still the product of a single user who somehow convinced himself his opinion was a fair representation of what this board thinks, and based upon the false premise there's something like coherent, homogeneous "lit tastes" he covered himself under this shallow umbrella-word.

Fair, but in that case I wish there were a better vocabulary of humor. Terms like "dry humor" are broad enough to include everything north of Family Guy.

Have you read Tristram Shandy? The whole damn thing is an aside!
