Oh this reminded me of the Milagro Bean Field War. Another hilarious book.

Since all of my other favorites have already been said, try Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

Is this really funny? I read genius and loved it. Also Breakfast of Champions - yes. And I've heard good things about Galapagos (sp). At least the part at the end where the half-human/half-seal things fart and laugh, like that's the last, deepest human instinct to hang on "farts are funny". I like that.

no shirt, no shoes, no problem by jeff foxworthy. I read it in high school before he started appearing on comedy central. I still laugh when I think about some of the stories in it. rednecks so funny.

Yea for some reason it really cracked me up. Marquez' humor really connects with me.

Hmmm maybe it's funnier in the English translation. I read it in Russian. Either way it's one of my favorite books.

Also, I'm friends with his goddaughter. I am sure you will be extremely excited to know this.

"Parliament of Whores" by P.J. O'Rourke

Contains the best non-fiction chapter title of all time:

"What The F*** Do They Do All Day And Why Does It Cost So D***ed Much Money?"

Best fiction chapter title goes to Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising" - "The Frisbees Of Dreamland"

The funniest book I've ever read is "Youth in Revolt."

Yeah, I'll second that. And I'll add Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk to the discussion.

Anything by Carl Hiassen is excellent.
