What’s the funniest book you’ve read recently?
I didn't read To Say Nothing of the Dog all that recently however, it's the first book I thought of when I read today's question. Connie Willis is funny, fun, and imaginative. This book is delightful - part science fiction, part love story, part wartime adventure, and of course there's the dog. I tend to expect more belly laughs from shorter pieces like some of Woody Allen's essays in Without Feathers or Steve Martin's amazing spoof on side effect inserts in medications, which was in The New Yorker quite a while back and is probably the funniest thing I have ever read.

That reminds me of Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), by Jerome K. Jerome. I forgot to mention that on my post!

GT - This book is a comment on that one.
I love, love, LOVE Steve Martin! Here is my response.
I tend to listen to, rather than read, my funny books...sure makes the drive time go faster.
Steve Martin is very funny!
This is the same book I chose! I'm in the middle of it right now and I'm loving it!
I have this one on my TBR list.
