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.
Aubrey wrote: "It's impossible to take a list like this seriously when there's no Austen on the first page."Ah well, the same goes for Henry Fielding. But in spite of this, I still like this list :-)
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
