A great funny book is a healing balm for emotional rainy days! Those books that are coffee table worthy, never to be stuffed into a dusty bookshelf, because they double as a laughing gas when you need it. Humor, feel-good therapy!

yeah, u r right.. it is rather boring...





P&P is a social commentary about the time. I think once you are familiar with the story and you read it becomes funny. Everyone in the book is terrible and oblivious. Their mom is obsessed with marriage and doesn't even try to hide it, Mr Collins lacks all the social grace you'd expect a clergy to have, the most attractive person Elizabeth meets is a con-artist, and the most deplorable person turns out to be the good guy.
Austen makes fun of people she doesn't like. For example Mr. Collin's a man of the cloth who is mostly concerned with flattering people in better standing then him. He bows constantly, is terrible at conversation, and fawns over lady catherine every day. He is meant to be totally ridiculous, unlikeable, and funny.

Pride and prejudice is definitely funny when you read the remarks of Mr Bennett, for example, or when you take a look at the character of Mr Collins, and so on. And yes, of course it is an excellent example of its time but don't forget Jane Austen's pen could be very sharp at times (and was meant to be so)....

hmm.. you are right.

Mr. Manners: Proper Etiquette for the Modern Degenerate





Lighthearted comedies with often off-the-wall humor or strong set up and punch lines. And the characters all get along relatively well without any drama.

chocolate lovers is amazing!

Anyone can add books to this list.
I have created a new group called Goodreads All Sorts and I'd love for people to join it or just even just give it a look. It's a group that discusses anything and everything. There will be monthly group reads, movies, and music. There is a folder for everything you could think of. I'd really like if people could spread the word because I'd love for the group to be a success. Here is the link to the group:
