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!

What are the funniest books you have read?
