What is the funniest book you have ever read?
I think it's gotta be Catch-22 ... I was laughing out loud on the bus, oblivious to the nervous little glances coming my way.
Hands down, the Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy. Though I first read it when I was in 8th grade, so maybe if I read it again it would lose something in age-translation. But I remember laughing so much when I read it for the first time!

Okay, so it might help to remember to turn the comments on before posting...But, anyway, I guess I'm looking for a few good laugh out-loud reads here.
I don't know if it's *the* funniest book I've ever read, but the first one that always comes to mind for me is "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson. I seriously loved that book.
