Subject: RE: BS: Good Book
Since humour is your thing,(and given that humour is a terribly personal thing), the first two,South African-set Tom Sharpe novels did it for me (Riotous Assembly and Indecent Exposure).

   Also Alan Coren and Miles Kington and Michael Frayn in their short pieces.

   Every time I find a P.G.Wodehouse quote in a quotations Dictionary,I laugh.

   And the short pieces that Muir and Norden did for the BBC radio prog. My Word were brilliant, and many were published,fr example in the collection You Can't Have Your Kayak and Heat It!
