[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Best - Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes

Best funny - I’ve Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella

Funniest thing I’ve ever read - Chapter 26 of The Lord God Made Them All

While I wouldn’t generally describe James Herriot as a humorous writer, one of the funniest things I’ve ever read is the short story that makes up chapter 26 of his book The Lord God Made Them All. James Herriot writes stories of a country vet and this chapter relates the misadventures of one unfortunate bull while the vet was trying to obtain a sample in accordance with the new technology of artificial insemination.  The rest of the book isn’t particularly funny.

Honorable mention:

Below the Salt by Thomas B. Costain

Mrs. Pollifax series by Dorothy Gilman

Advise and Consent by Allen Drury (written from Cold War right-wing slant)

The Westing Game

The Secret Garden

Cheaper by the Dozen (not fiction - but reads like it, based on the authors’ father)

Frankenstein - not at all what I thought it would be, it’s NOT a typical horror story

Oh I remember loving the westing game!!! I haven’t read that in years [/quote]
