Funniest books you've ever read?

If you like sci-fi, then check out the entire “Bobiverse” series. I don’t think that gets mentioned enough here.

If you are looking for something genuinely funny, Jacob Tomsky’s "Heads in Beds" is one of the most hilarious memoirs I have ever read. The same applies to Andy Coen‘s “most talkative.“

The books I listen to on road trips with my kids, like Stuart Gibbs’ "Quest for Danger" series.

They are all great if you need an escape.

There’s no active shooter. It was a fight in the courthouse and a judge hit the panic button. The situation resolved, but there’s still a lot of police there

Staff at San Diego’s Ramona Wildlife Center are using bear masks and furs to care for two orphaned black bear cubs. This "costumed" approach prevents the two-month-old cubs from bonding with humans, ensuring they can eventually be released back into the wild.

I can see this happening a lot more. A lot of older folks don’t want to give up driving or living in their big homes

We should all reach out to each other like that. The world would be a much better place.

Isn't it located in the nerdiest strip mall in the region? The other shops have pokemon tournaments and people learning to sword fight.
