Been reading through the Cosmere and looking for something fun, funny, or light to break it up a bit. Anyone got any good ones?

'Boyfriend Material' and 'Husband Material' by Alexis Hall 'The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza' by Shaun Hutchison
And if you like non-fic : '100 Nasty Women of History' by Hannah Jewell
The outsiders by s.e Hinton. I've read the book twice and watched the movie also.
This is a no-brainer: "The Discworld" series by T. Pratchett.For more ambitious (yet entertaining) read, "The Cyberiad" by S. Lem.
It isn't everyone's style of humor, but if satire is your thing, Pride and Prejudice (or better yet, Emma) are both great choices. Emma had me dying laughing.
FINNA by Nino Cipri and the sequal DEFEKT. Lightning reads full of anti-corporate humor.
Ak Landow her books are hilarious. The banter is crazy funny. I bought all of her books
k. webster
has 3 books that had me rolling on the floor.
Text 2 lovers
Hate 2 Lovers
Thieves 2 Lovers
they are all really good
Myth series by Robert AspirinXanth series by Piers Anthony, the first half of it anyway.
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams
Jerehg series by Steven Brust funny as hell.
Stainless Steel Rat series by Harry Harrison
Graphic novel dept. :
Dirk Gadoux by Phil Foglio
Duncan & Mallory ( forgot by whom)
Hillariously funny, but VERY darkly comedical stuff, you could check out Tom Sharpe (considered oen of Britain's greatest satirists, which in a country also including fellows like Terry Pratchett, is high praise indeed!). "Riotous Assembly" is a good example of his work, although "Wilt" may be a better place to start.
Standalone's Kings of the Wyld by Eames or The Martian by Weir.Myth series by Aspirin
Or the first four Murderbot novellas by Wells.
Perry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman - Good Omens
Gentlemen Bastards series by Scott Lynch
Shelly Laurenston's Pride series and her Honeybadgers always have me laughing out loud because of their antics. Love her books and shes also writes a dragon series under GA Aikens that have their fun/funny moments.
Carry On by Rainbow Rowell.The Gentlemans Guide to Vice and Virtue.
I gotta go with the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It's the only book I can recall actually laughing out loud. I laughed enough that my dad insisted on reading the book to see what was so funny. And after you read that continue on through the 4 part trilogy!
Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murders
Anything by Nick Hornby, definitely Hitchhiker's Guide, Robert Aspirin's Mty Adventures series, Pride and Prejudice, The Loved One by Evelyn Waugh, The Road to Wellville and other books by TC Boyle, The Importance of Being Ernest (play by Oscar Wilde), Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, most of Carl Hiaasen's books, Le Divorce by Diane Johnson, anything by David Sedaris. So many!
I was told there'd be cake by Sloane Croasley
Ok who in the frick (pardon my language) rec'ed The Outsiders as funny? I will be forever damaged by that book as I cuddle it whilst I sleep. a funny book... well that's not my specialty. so. yeah, the Outsiders isn't FUNNY ok?
Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs.I swear, I cannot read this book without laughing myself silly.
The Completionist Chronicles by Dakota KroutThe Gentlemen Bastards by Scott Lynch
Born a Crime by Trevor Noah is funny and poignant.
Assistant to the Villain Butcher and the Black Bird
