comedic novels
offcitylimits:
By far the funniest book I've read in ages is Vernon God Little by D.B.C. Pierre. It's about a 15 year old Texan wrongly accused of being an accessory in a high school massacre. It shouldn't be funny, but Vernon's observations on the insane culture around him are hilarious, and it's also pretty poignant at times too.
Obs:
Jasper fforde gets my vote. inteligent writting and a lot of hidden jokes if you can find them. makes for a really satisfying read.

Voila, funny books. Also Catch-22 is good, and Catcher In The Rye will make you laugh.

Catcher in the Rye is one of my favorite books of all time!
Rizzo:
I really enjoy Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Grant Naylor(two people going by one name, Red Dwarf writers), Tom Holt and Robert Rankin.
Rankin is particularly good if you've got a bit of a warped mind and don't mind some very childish sex jokes.
If you're a bit of techhead/geek/nerd then try Neal Stephenson. His best one is probably Snow Crash (come on, the main character is called Hiro Protagonist...).
Spider Robinton is interesting but a little difficult to get in to for some. There is a lot of backstory you need to read before most of the characters make sense.
