comedic novels

Schmendrick:
I find that getting your hands on a good humerous novel is a difficult task. When I am looking for comedy I'd usually like something a little more dark. I started reading Kurt Vonnegut a few years ago... I wouldn't put him under stereotypical comedy especially since his writing has a definite anti-war theme. I haven't read all of his books, but I'll hopefully get my hands on more. I've also tried reading Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy... I never finished the whole series, but they were pretty enjoyable.

thehoopiestfrood:
I'd of course say finish Hitchhikers, and try the Dirk Gently novels to start with.

rive gauche:
Catch 22 is a really funny book.

thehoopiestfrood:
Oh it is! I love Joseph Heller in general.

soap:
if you liked hitchhikers then the first red dwarf book might be worth a look

at the moment im reading the crying of lot 49 - which is covered in quotes saying how hilarious it is, but i haven't found it funny, interesting and a little confusing but not funny.
