Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About: A NovelThings My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About: A Novel by Mil Millington
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $0.58
One of the WITTIEST and funniest novels I have ever read. The part where his girlfriend turns into Mrs. Hyde and goes into a high-speed chase after their landscaping men is PRICELESS.

Love and Other Near-Death Experiences: A NovelLove and Other Near-Death Experiences: A Novel by Mil Millington
Buy new: $11.16 / Used from: $3.78
The character in this novel is so FUNNY because he's so afraid any decision he makes will end up in his ultimate death. I like the part where he ends up standing at the front of the grocery store with melting icecream for half an hour because he can't decide which exit door to go out.
The Book of JoeThe Book of Joe by Jonathan Tropper
Buy new: $8.64 / Used from: $0.61
This book will change your life. It's comedy, but it's also VERY poignant. The part where he and his dying childhood friend reflect on life is unforgettable. Tropper's got a talent for describing events that we haven't gotten around to labeling.

I was SO hooked onto this book. What a witty book. I like the character because he kind of reminds me of Stephen Colbert.

MUST READ. Random happenings like a mafia gang trying to take over his mobile lunch stand.
A Question of Attraction: A NovelA Question of Attraction: A Novel by David Nicholls
Buy new: $11.86 / Used from: $2.14
This character is SO funny. He's this teenage British kid who always freaks out about his acne - and goes off into these really funny hyperventilations every once and a while.
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering GeniusA Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $0.01
Okay, the part where the older brother pretends to abuse his younger brother in order to give the spying/gossiping neighbors something to talk about was REALLY funny.
How to Talk to a Widower (Bantam Discovery)How to Talk to a Widower (Bantam Discovery) by Jonathan Tropper
Buy new: $9.60 / Used from: $1.16
Again, this author is TALENTED when it comes to describing emotions and . I really liked how dysfunctional his family is - i.e. how is mom always told him that if he breathed in bus exhaust fumes, his lungs would turn fried black.
Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk in Portland, Oregon (Crown Journeys)Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk in Portland, Oregon (Crown Journeys) by Chuck Palahniuk
Buy new: $11.53 / Used from: $3.85
Portland's the underrated, hidden US city with lots of weird, strange stories you'd never read in other tour guides. I liked the part where he talks about the law that was almost passed that would require all sick people to travel through the underground sewer system, to quarantine them off from the rest of society.

As obnoxious as Tucker describes his past, his stories are absolutely hilarious - the story in which he's at the hotel and the toilet's broken at the worst possible time - you can't just think up this stuff.
