Books Guaranteed to Make You Laugh

Not to get too philosophical, but it's hard to define what is truly funny. Is it something that has you falling on the floor laughing or something that has you chuckling inside while also pondering the absurdity of the human condition? What each of us defines as funny depends on the individual subject: some of us might think there's something funny about The Stranger by Camus, while others prefer Adam Sandler making fart sounds. The point is that humor works as a device that can make you laugh with reckless abandon, but also ponder this strange situation we call life. Not everything that's funny has to start off with "Knock knock," and these 25 books offer an opportunity to see how writers have used humor in different ways, to often-brilliant results.
