After reading a lot of non-fiction and recently more so fiction thrillers, I have decided I want a change in my reading habits.
In the past I have read A few Bill Bryson's books, Hitchhikers, and tried Nick Hornby.
I want to laugh out loud, not be mildly amused by pretentious rom-coms.
As I get older (yes I am one of those!), I find the older TV series such as Fawlty Towers, Dad's Army, and Blackadder, the only things that make me laugh. Don't get me wrong I love Mock the Week QI, and Have I got News... really good. Including, quite a few stand up comedians, but the so called Comedy TV Series of nowadays, are mostly pants.
Right rant over from the Grumpy Old Man
So what have you read novel-wise, recently of say the past 5 years that you can genuinely say made you laugh out loud? and made the wife, partner, cat, neighbour startled and think, I gotta get me that!!
It could be a list and if you can think of anything even a bit older no problem.
Looking forward to your suggestions - DM |
