April Fools - The joke lovers month!
For this month's reading challenge try a book that you consider humorous. Non-fiction is included too as biographies and memoirs of funny people such as Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Ellen DeGeneres are a hoot to read. Please share your laughs and tell us if what you read tickled your funny bone.

Anne (ammay) | 2 comments Reading Bill Bryson's new book The Road to Little Dribbling. I like him because while he's talking about something perfectly normal and sensible, then he'll slip in some sly little commentary or aside that leaves me snorting with laughter. :)

Mallory For April I read "Right Ho, Jeeves" by P.G. Wodehouse. It's like Downton Abbey with 10 times the snark. I loved it! Terrific and cuttingly funny with wonderfully hapless characters. I've also just started listening to an older Bill Bryson book, "In a Sunburned Country," which is about Australia. Already he had me laughing hysterically as he described his typical posture while sleeping.

I just watched one of his workout video - funny and inspiring. I had not heard of him before. Thanks for sharing.

Downton Abbey with more snark! That sounds wonderful. Thanks for posting. The Bryson book sounds good too.
