Ugh, wish I could remember them all - there are some good ones that got me but I just can't remember them, only the reactions received when reading said funny bit on the tube :P

Alicia (soitgoes815) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is hilarious. I've only read the first two books in the series, but I'm looking forward to reading the other three.

I've also been reading The Dresden Files series, which can be pretty funny at times. The main character's sense of humor can be pretty juvenile and/or corny, but that's half the charm of it. There's just something about a wizard making bad wisecracks to an ancient demon (or whatever he's facing this week) that's inherently amusing.

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog had some hilarious episodes. I was reading it during a trip and kept laughing out loud while sitting in the airport waiting for my flight.

Of course, it's also one of those books that made me cry.

April Lyn (aprilallyear) Mennonite in a Little Black Dress

Bridget Jones's Diary

Watermelon

These are three books that made me LOL (which is pretty uncommon for me), in most funny to least funny order. :P

Elaine (lanybum) Unlike with the books that made you cry thread, most books makes me laugh out loud at some point. A few that spring to mind though are:

A book called Me Talk Pretty One Dayby David Sedaris. Very very amusing. This made me laugh so much!

The books I'm reading at the moment Salmon Fishing In The Yemen has also made me laugh out loud a lot.

The Jasper Fforde series of books which begind with The Eyre Affair also makes me laugh quite a bit.
