Please help me find something funny to read that is not on every "top 100 funny books to read" list! I'm desperate. I somehow accidentally read 25 dour, tragic, serious books in a row this year and I need something a little lighter that won't also feel like a waste of time.
Stuff that usually gets recommended that I have already read and loved:
Catch-22 [This is the gold standard of American comedy for me]
Everything by P.G. Wodehouse [and this is my gold standard of English comedy]
The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine by Alina Bronsky [I would be especially interested in other books that are about, or written by, people who are not from the USA or England, like this one]
Everything by David Sedaris
Everything by Kurt Vonnegut
The Hitchhikerβs Guide to the Galaxy series
Good Omens and other Terry Pratchett books
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson
The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
Three Men in a Boat by J. K. Jerome
Running with Scissors/Dry by Augusten Burroughs
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
I never see these recommended and I loved or liked them a lot:
Treasure Island!!! By Sarah Levine [A top example of 21stΒ century comedy]
Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis [A top example of 20thΒ century comedy]
The Rose and the Ring by William Makepeace Thackeray [A top example of 19thΒ century comedy]
Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris
Hotels of North America by Rick Moody
Dear Committee Members by Julie Schumacher
Why Are You So Sad? By Jason Porter
The Basic Eight by Daniel Handler
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bible! by Jonathan Goldstein
A Supposedly Fun Thing Iβll Never Do Again by David Foster Wallace
The Asterix comics
Stuff that usually gets recommended that I have read and thought were fine, but wouldnβt necessarily seek more of:
Allie Broshβs stuff
Hark! A Vagrant
I am America! (And So Can You) by Stephen Colbert
The Night Vale books
John Dies at the End by David Wong
Christopher Mooreβs books
Everything else by Bill Bryson
Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss
Stuff that usually gets recommended that I didnβt care for:
Anything by Chuck Palahniuk
Anything by Thomas Pynchon
Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
The Dresden Files series
The Martian by Andy Weir
Sh*t My Dad Says by Justin Halpern

May we never be confused about toxicity and addiction rates. Being pro legalization / decriminalizing has nothing to do with the reality different addiction and death rates with different drugs. You can take 1,000 hits of acid and be OK. You take 2x your normal dose of heroin you might die, and most people do not know the potency of their heroin.

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.
If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.
Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???
Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.
Thank you,
A Dad.

This is my first post pls don't kill me lol.
The people in the comment section is why I love this subreddit!!
Cred once again my sis wants credit lol
I am currently in the hospital. I had a back operation yesterday. The surgical nurse came in my room and started asking questions about my back. She asked me if I had any falls during the last year. I responded just one. It was after summer.
She laughed and said in 20 years of doing this she never was told that joke.
Keep in mind, my son is 4 years old, so everything is an original to him.
I had to work late into the evening yesterday, and he was just going to bed when I got home. I had left home for the office nearly 14 hours prior, had a long day, lots of meetings, traffic, etc.
When I walked through the door, I was exhausted, run down, and starving. My wife hugged me and asked how my day was, and I replied, "Done. It was a good day, but has got me exhausted. I just want to grab a bite and go to bed. I'm hungry."
From my son's bedroom, I hear him shout, "Hi Hungry! Nice to meet you!"
Not only did it make me laugh, but I completely forgot about how hungry and tired I was. I went to his bedroom, and we laughed together about it. It was exactly what I needed.
Edit: Thanks for all the awards, kind strangers! I'll let my son know y'all enjoyed his joke too!
I heard parents named their children lance a lot.
First post please don't kill me
Edit: i went to sleep and now my inbox is dead, thank you kind strangers for the awards!
To get to the... Bottom...
