Books That Made Me Laugh Out Loud
A shorter list this week as I’m struggling to think of more such book.
The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4 by Sue Townsend – this was a reading project for uni and I recall my presentation on Adrian’s intellectual development was declared the best in my group, I even watched the TV adaptation and included video clips to prove each point I tried to make. I had a lot of fun with the project and laughed out loud on multiple occasions. I’m yet to read the remaining books though.
Seriously… I’m Kidding by Ellen DeGeneres – likely the funniest non-fiction I’ve ever read. The audiobook is narrated by Ellen herself and I do recommend you listen to it if you have the chance. I know there’s been some controversies around her show last year, but her advice on becoming a billionaire is: write a book about magical vampire teenage hobbits, then turn it into a movie franchise. My Goodreads review reads: hilarious! That’s it, that’s my review haha 😀
The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson – I don’t ever recall laughing out loud to any other book more than this one! That laughter when you can’t say a word, there’s tears in your eyes and you almost forget to breathe kind of laughter – that’s this book. Admittedly, the sequel was disappointing but this first book was still a great read.
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion – the characters we equal parts frustrating and funny here to be honest, but I did laugh for sure at multiple scenes. I’ll take the story with a grain of salt and remember it’s meant to be a fun romance read.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams – I don’t quite like this book and I’ve now read it multiple times…still not sure what to make of it. But, it’s a fun read for sure!

The Hitch-hiker’s Guide is such a good one for this list! I’ve been meaning to read the Rosie Project but haven’t gotten to it yet.
So many books, so little time, am I right? 😀 Thanks for visiting Alison!
I struggled to come up with examples this week, too. You’re not alone.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was such a fun read.

That’s good to hear Lydia, thanks ever so much for visiting!
I also struggled with what to come up with! In the end I listed 5 books that made me laugh and 5 books on my TBR I hope make me laugh. I haven’t read any on this list, though I might add The Hundred year old man to my TBR after that glowing review!

Oh, that’s a nice idea! You should defo read Jonas Jonasson.
My go to authors for humourous books are usually Rick Riordan or Derek Landy, their books never fail to make me laugh.

I’ve read a few Riordan books and I agree. I’ll check out Derek Landy, thanks for the recommendation!
Ellen is so funny! I need this on my TBR!
You should definitely read that book then Carol. Thanks for visiting!
I love that Douglas Adams lives on so many lists. For such a disastrous idea (the world is over!) it is certainly funny!
It sure is 😀 Thanks for visiting!
Great List, Stefani!!
I really have to read The Hitchhiker’s Guide one of these days. I’ve been seeing it on a lot of people’s lists today. 🙂
Hitchhikers’s sounds like it would be an entertaining read.
I can’t get over that Adrian Mole cover! Happy TTT 🙂
I enjoyed The Rosie Project and I’ve heard such excellent things about The 100 Year Old Man. Really do need to read that!
I so want to read Hitchhiker’s, I just feel like I’m missing so much as people all seem to rave about it. 🙂
Omg!! The Rosie Project!! Yes, I loved that one and it was hilarious! I haven’t seen anyone talk about that one in ages! Great list. 🙂
Can’t believe I didn’t think of The Hitchhiker’s Guide when I put my list together! I love that book so much. The Rosie Project really made me laugh too. Fun list!
THE ROSIE PROJECT is on my list today, too! It’s the only book I can think of that has made me literally laugh out loud. It’s a great one. I’ve seen ADRIAN MOLE on a number of lists this week as well. I’d never heard of it before, but now I want to read it for sure.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

So glad you enjoyed these books! I’ve had The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy on my TBR for quite some time now. I think it’s time to try it out. I always want books that make me laugh, it’s such a cool reading experience when it happens.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide is such a hilarious read! 🙂
Ooh, I totally forgot about The Rosie Project but I ended up loving that book 😍 It made me laugh a lot, too! I can imagine Ellen’s book would be hilarious too, especially listening to her narrate the story! Great list 🙂
I’ve heard a LOT about “The Rosie Project,” but never really looked at it much or seen what all of the fuss is about. Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland on this week. 🙂
