Are any books consistently funny?

I mean something that makes you laugh

On level 4 and level 6 irony that's a pretty funny picture though.

three men in a boat by jerome k jerome

Joyce, Beckett, Flann O'Brien, and Pynchon consistently make me laugh

The Master and Margarita

Hunger by Knut Hamsun

>pretty funny picture
Noice bait

Aristophanes.

Wilt series by Tom Sharpe

Molloy by Beckett
Wise Blood by O'Connor
The Trial by Kafka
Remains of the Day by Ishiguro
I Am A Cat by Soseki

I am currently reading Moby Dick and portions of the narration are actually very funny. Also, monitoring this thread because I love reading a great book that successfully pulls off humor (hard to do).

Thank God, I was almost triggered that a fellow Veeky Forums poster found this funny.

honestly chuckled, gotta admit

Catch-22, it's either a feather in the cap or a real black eye.

My nigga

I chuckled couple of times during Portnoy's Complaint.

Pynchons my fav writer for sure because my fav thing in books is goofs, gags, jokes and rambunctious behavior, and his books are full to the brim of it.
Every novel is like one of those novelty snake cans, you open the book & POP you get a face fulla snakes and you fall back cackling.
The mad mind, the crack genius, to do it! and then you think hmmm whats he gonna do next, this trickster, and you pick the book back up and BZZZZZZZZZZ you get a shock and Hahahahahah you've been pranked again by the old pynchmeister, that card.
"Did that Pynch?" he says, laughing yukyukyukyuk. Watch him as he shoves a pair of plastic buck teeth right up into his mouth and displays em for you- left, right, center- "you like dese? Do i look handsome???"
Pulls out a mirror. "Ah!" Hand to naughty mouth. And you're on your ass again laughing as he snaps his suspenders, exits stage right, and appears again hauling a huge golden gong.

I know people are going to say I'm just trying to be ultra-patrician but I found JR by Gaddis pretty damn hilarious. Though be warned, it's almost completely devoid of any other emotion. If you want to laugh for 800 pages, go for it. If you want to sympathize with a character then read something else.

A.M. Homes

This also The Petty Demon, A Confederacy of Dunces, and Lost In The Cosmos.

The Jeeves books manage to be consistently funny as well as comfy, and I'm not even from the UK

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The first part of A Clockwork Orange
The Birth of Tragedy
Machiavelli's comedies
Anything by Giorgio Manganelli
Cioran

Seconding Flann O'Brien.

A PINT OF PLAIN IS YOUR ONLY MAN

Tristram Shandy, some parts of The Odyssey

Plebian-tier rubbish, but I remember holing up in Barnes and Nobles, literally biting down on my knuckles trying not to laugh at Max Tucker's "I Hope they Serve Beer In Hell" because the staff warned me once already I was being way too loud.

There was another book too from Barnes and Nobles that legitimately made me lmao in public. It was just some independent book about some lady talking about her day-to-day life with her two kids and her husband, and I liked the way she drew them. The stories about her kids always gave me a hearty belly laugh. 10/10.

>Tfw that Barnes and Nobles closed down and was replaced with a ROSS

Good times, man. Good times. It's where I would always run away to after school or something. Had a lot of kind memories there.

/thread

It even has some nice prose too.

Oh man, we used to take turns reading aloud stories from IHTSBIH in the highschool lockerroom before and after gym days. Great times lol.

Hilarity Ensues by him was pretty good too. Tucker Max is the reason I ever read Malcolm X's autobio

ignore him, he's a pleb because that picture is hilarious

you can find it for free (legally, for those who care) online

Heh, troglodyte.

Confederacy of Dunces

>"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh"

Discworld
It's YA fantasy but it's actually funny

Bump

Saki, anybody?

I remember reading Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff a long time ago and found it funny.

It's a tasteful satire on the 4 Gospel books accounting Jesus' life in the Bible, though often it has a tad more character introspection than your standard satire

I thought pic related was very clever and though I didn't guffaw there were definitely moments where my grin wouldn't get any wider.
A golf hustler plays a high-stakes match against a very important person. I give you my blessing.

This reminds me of a porn ad

I'm actually kind of fucked in that way. I find ironically unironically ironically these shitty memes funny.

Don Quixote

I had a good few laughs at Candide
