The Humour Club discussion

Hii, I really want some funny book reccomndations (funny in a sarcastic or dry way)
Thanks!!

I just released my first satirical book entitled Beet Life, and I think you may get a kick out of it!

Beet Life is an absurd satire of health & lifestyle and social media influencer culture written from the perspective of a fictional health & lifestyle blogger known on Instagram as @beets_by_beth.

After receiving over 100 followers on Instagram, Beth has decided to do what every extremely successful social media influencer does when they amass a huge following: write a self-help book full of unsolicited life advice for whoever will read it!

Life isn’t always easy. However, Beth has been doing GREAT at it recently. In this book, Beth offers you - her loyal #beetbabes - sage wisdom and guidance so that you can find the best version of yourself and be more like her! You will learn how to effectively improve your name to fit your true personality, how to identify which of your friends may be a sneaky snake out to sabotage you, the perfect amount of revenge to seek on a recent ex, and ultimately how to Beet Life. The book also features full-color photos of Beth (and her Domestic Lover Greg), illustrations by Beth, and some of Beth's favorite beet-based recipes.

Thanks,
Tyler

I recently released my humorous satire, The Royal Rump, about a delusional King in the middle ages that truly believes his derriere is the 'seat' of power over the Kingdom. Thus he expects lawmakers, statemen - all citizens - to kiss, cuddle and embrace it (if they can get their arms around the monstrous thing). Maniacal King Grosso goes too far with his power mongering and is confronted by a young prodigy named Sabrina. It's a war with a surprise ending. Hope you get a chance to read it. Enjoy! Dr. Sly

thanks, are both these books there on the Kindle? I'd love to read them!!

I read One Bird's Choice a little while ago and found it hilarious. A slightly cynical, overeducated guy who ends up moving back in with his parents. I think what was great about it was that it was so relatable, I could totally see myself in the situations the author gets himself into.

You can currently buy a paperback or ebook copy of Beet Life at https://booksbybeetsbybeth.com/

Yes, The Royal Rump is a Kindle e book. Thanks for your interest.

You could try one of my books Satire and Parody is what I do and have done for years. Go to Anthony E Thorogood on Amazon kindle and try one of my Jack Hamma Action Adventure Satires such as Shakespeare on the Roof cost you 99c. My Jack Books have been described as Fast Paced Action Packed & 100% funny. There is also my tongue in cheek romantic comedy Lazonby Trips the Light Fantastic and my satirical police whodunnit Bigfoot Littlefoot and West.

I recently read a strange book I thought was v funny, but in a dark, wry kind of way. - Mistletoe - Last days in China. Its about this guy preparing to leave China, but he and his buddy have a weird funny relationship. Also there's some crazy stuff in it about China that I didn't know before.

This quirky comedy drama is free on Kindle until Friday 19th November. Guaranteed to make you smile, I’d say.

If you love the slapstick genre from Groucho Marx to Woody Allen, from Mel Brooks to Monty Python, perhaps you might enjoy my slapstick novel, the kindle version of which is free for 3 more days on Amazon.

In case, I'd welcome your review. Enjoy!

I hope I'm not breaking any Group etiquette here, but I'd be remiss joining a Humour Club without bothering to recommend Infernal Relations, a soon to be published laugh-out-loud novel.

*Synopsis*
Another academic season is in the offing at Lockwood Institute, the eclectic finishing school for those who've been barred elsewhere. When Spencer and his interloping cousin, Monty, are summoned back into the fray for a special assignment they quickly find themselves knee-deep in the thick of it with a trophy-hunting Brigadier on a quest to slay a mysterious beast, while his daughter, Natalia, proves a temptation too much for the fantastical Monty.

This heady concoction provides the perfect ingredients to rock institute life to its foundations.

As one staggering revelation unfolds after another, does Spencer have the fortitude to cope? Monty couldn’t possibly have done what people think, could he? Is he culpable? Is he capable?

As Spencer desperately tries to pull Monty's chestnuts out of the fire, a head-spinning discovery awaits them.
*****

It is much liked by LoveReading (the UK's leading book recommendation website) and judging by early ARC reviewers, by fans of E.W Bowman, James Thurber, Mark Twain, Jerome K Jerome, Grossmith et al. Lightness, of course, being of paramount importance throughout.

As the author I daren’t lay any claims upon its merits except to say that I hope people will find it a lighthearted diversion from the worries engulfing us in the news presently.

I hope you give it a try.

Thank you.

P.S. As is only proper, I will, of course, follow this with recommendations of sublime humorous works by other authors.

No one quite interweaves the plausible with the mindbogglingly absurd with huge helpings of sheer whimsy quite like James Thurber. I'm currently savouring his 'Alarms and Diversions'. Take this excerpt for instance:

"Nature and I have long felt that the hope of mankind is womankind, that the physically creative sex must eventually dominate the physically destructive sex if we are to survive on this planet. The simplest things last longest, the microbe outlives the mastodon, and the female's simple gift of creativity happily lacks the ornaments
and handicaps of male artifice, pretension, power, and balderdash."

Sublime.

The Kindle version of my quirky mystery, "The Hobby Farm Murders," will go on sale for $1.99 today at 8:00 am PST. Check it out! The Hobby Farm Murders

I just released my first humorous book--A Man Walks into a Bank. It's a nice little mixture of humor, crime, and a dash of romance (not mushy)--think Foul Play, the movie.

Free for Kindle Unlimited members, and includes a lifetime of uninterrupted happiness. Guaranteed.* For everyone else, it's about the cost of a cup of coffee, depending on where you go...
