[LM_NET] HIT: Humorous Adult Book

[Pat Hoppe <Marbeth2@AOL.COM>]

Thanks for ALL the suggestions.   Here are the great recommendations.....

"Everybody loves Raymond" then she will love this book.   Author:   Patricia 
Heaton "Motherhood and Hollywood"

Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series

I find the Sweet Potato Queens books very funny indeed.

I also like the books by Sophie Kinsella hilarious!   She writes the 
Shopaholic series and several other books about generally funny occurrences in life.

I've always enjoyed the wordplay and situations of the British author 
P.G. Wodehouse.

The Southern Sisters mystery series by Anne George are just LOL fun and
funny!

The absolute funniest book I have read as an adult is Not Tonight Honey, Wait 
'til I'm a Size 6 by Susan Reinhardt ISBN 0-7582-1124-4
We may have weird tastes but my husband and I loved "Marley and Me" by John 
Grogan

Moo! by Jane Smiley--this one got me through my mother's last days
Two books by Jasper Fforde: The Big Over Easy and The Fourth Bear. These two 
I listened to audio versions and they had me laughing out loud. Oh and here is 
one more. It is a bit dated but I still find remember it fondly: I Want to 
Buy A Vowel.

anything by David Sedaris.

"Sex Lives of Cannibals" by Martin Van Troost.   I have given this to friends
recovering from triple bypass surgery, depression, etc.   It was always a
hit.

My Mom healed herself many times by reading The Confederacy of Dunces, 
although it is one very peculiar book.   I have a friend who gives it to anyone who 
is having a tough time and needs encouragement.
