I hated Prayer for Owen Meany.

One of my all-time favorite humorous novels is Foreign Affairs by Alison Lurie.

The War of Don Emmanuel’s Nether Parts by Louis de Bernieres

Since you added funny, Carl Hiassen is hilarious, quality writing. I can't pick one. Maybe the others can. Bonus if you like to chuckle at "Florida man"

OP. Bonus if it’s also funny.

Just arrived for 10 days of spring break - and would love to catch up on some reading. Please recommend the best novel you’ve ever read! No strong for genre. I have not read fiction in years.
