I must have stumbled on the wrong list. I thought this was supposed to be funny stuff!

How is American Psycho funny? o_o
Actually, it's a dodgy list anyway. Does nobody at Goodreads watch for this stuff?
DITTO:"Lolita" is funny?
Depends on your morals!

It's impossible to take a list like this seriously when there's no Austen on the first page.

There are books on this list which I've read and can't for the life of me think why they would be considered funny. But then again, that's all a matter of opinion, I guess.
By the way, I too love Jane Austen's wit and (very) sharp pen.
lolita is hilarious throughout, even if it is quite disturbing
