I fell in love with poet David Lee the very first time I read him! The people he talks about in his poetry are all people I have known in my lifetime at one time or another. He uses the vernacular of the people of his region which makes his writing all the more interesting and humorous. If you’ve never read David Lee I highly recommend him. If nothing else please check out his poem “Pain” on page 266. It really hits home!
This book is very typical Chelsea Handler. I really enjoy her humor and her personality. I can’t imagine the craziness that always encircles her. She is wild, crazy and hilarious and this book is a reflection of that. Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang is a collection of interludes in the life of Chelsea Handler. There are stories about her childhood, her relationships, her friendships, and her family. She pulls no punches about herself or those around her. If you like Chelsea Lately you will probably enjoy this book; I did.

A quirky guide to time travel including how to build your own time machine, skills you need for different time periods like dragon fighting and knowing the symptoms of the black plague and what to do to avoid time paradoxes.
References several science fiction movie characters, tv shows and books related to time travel in any way. Speaks very reverently of Dr. Emmett Brown and his time traveling Delorian. Did I mention this is found in the humor section of non-fiction at the library?
After the death of his father, Bill Bryson gets nostalgic for the family driving vacations he took as a child from their home in Des Moines Iowa. He decides to come back to the states (he lives in England) and start from his mom’s house and drive across America looking for the perfect small town. He visits some places that the family went to when he was a child, some places, Dad wouldn’t stop for and some because he got lost. He sees some of the best and some of the worst of America and shares it all with ironic humor. This book was published in the late 1980s some obviously some things have changed, but you’ll still learn some fun facts and enjoy the ride with Bryson as he sees the U.S. as both a native son and as a foreigner since he has lived abroad so many years. 
I’m always up for a good etymology book and this one had me laughing out loud. I was surprised at how many of the “old sayings” I grew up hearing in the country really were replacements for swear words. Of course some were obvious and as the author says any word can become a swear word using the right tone and body language just some won’t get you sent to the principal’s office or written up by your boss.
This is a dictionary of thoughts and opinions by three women who share their myriad experiences to bear on topics such as marriage, infidelity, motherhood, sex, fashion, friendship, work, and self-discovery. Besides their own thoughts the authors share insights from famous and some infamous folks: Oscar Wilde, Coco Chanel, Mae West, Anais Nin and Shakespeare to name a few. Entries are alphabetical and cross-referenced by topic.
I didn’t agree with everything the ladies had to say, but some of it made me laugh out loud, some was thought provoking and it would definitely start lots of conversations especially among a group of female friends or at a book club.
Ayun Halliday shares her adventures and misadventures around the globe as a backpacking low-budget traveler. Besides humorous stories you can also can some insight into some things NOT to do when traveling overseas. I’ve learned I am definitely NOT a backpacking traveler. I value indoor plumbing, clean sheets and mosquito repellant. Yes, if the monkey steals your shoes it really is better to just let him have them than risk injury AND have to replace them anyway, though you may amuse your fellow travelers and your hosts while you and the monkey chase each other through the rooms and stairways both running and screeching at each other.
Book 14 in the Discworld series, but more importantly the 4th book featuring the witches, Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick and introducing Agnes Nitt. It’s also a fun spoof of a Midsummer’s Night Dream. Leave it to Pratchett to add more layers of humor and satire to one of Shakespeare’s best known comedies.
