However, i think it is fair to say that the humor in LFAN is anything but what you are used to on Seinfeld. LFAN is basically complete lunacy.

Money or London Fields, by Martin Amis. I promise you'll laugh all the way through Money. Agree with Catch-22 and the Book of Mormon, although the D&C is funnier. Although ultimately they are tragic novels The Brothers Karamazov, 100 Years of Solitude, Blood Meridian, The Kruetzer Sonata, The Stranger, and Platform (Michel Houellebecq) all have hilarious moments. Woody Allen has written some funny novels.

Without feathers by Woody Allen is hilarious. I will echo Messrs. Seattle Ute and Waters in recommending Catch-22. Along with Don Quixote it is the funniest fiction that I have ever read. So I recommend Quixote as well.
You know now that I think of it, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn were pretty funny books, too. But you've probably already read those. |

If you are new to reading, I would recommend the Great Brain series by Fitzgerald. They are not LOL funny, but they will make you grin at times.

Kennedy O'Toole does a great job in an offbeat sort of way. I liked it.

You can't re-second a seconded motion, you must move for a vote.
