I'll be flying in a couple days, and I would like to have a book to read on the flight. Can you recommend one? I would like something funny, maybe similar to Jenny Lawson's books.

If you have a book to recommend that isn't funny, that's okay, too. I just need something light because I get distracted on planes, so nothing deep.

Thank you!

I was able to keep interested in Backman’s Britt Marie was Here. It was recommended by several PT folks. I enjoyed it. Another quirky character like his character Ove in a Man Called Ove.

I traded with a friend of mine for the return flight. I started Exit West. Oh my, I am so distracted by the looonnnnggggg sentences. I’m not sure I will get through it. Fortunately, it is only a bit more than 200 pages

I was going to suggest Jenny Lawson! I was reading Furiously Happy at a hockey game a few weeks ago and laughing out loud - people thought I was a bit crazy.


Stay Sexy and Don't Get Murdered is really funny!

Any book by Carol Snow!! Very easy reading, funny, well written! I'm sad she hasn't written a book in the last couple of years.

The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz. I found them laugh out loud hilarious.

I was just going to say that Keltikmom! I love this series.

I recall laughing quite a bit while reading Can You Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella (the Shopaholic author).

If you love Jenny Lawson, you will love Allie Brosh. Her book (and blog) are Hyperbole and a Half.

Was a funny and quick read. It’s by Laurie Gelman.

Thank you for starting this thread. I'm looking for funny, light reading over break.

I laughed out loud while reading Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris and Bill Brysons books, A Walk in the Woods, The Road to Little Dribbling, and In A Sunburnt County.

Thanks for all of the suggestions!

It's been a while since I read Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed. I remember thinking at the time I really liked her humor.

Have you read anything by Carl Hiaasen? He makes me laugh and laugh. Fun stories, not hard to follow, and well written. I’m a big fan.
