      The Meaning of Liff
      http://www.amazon.co.uk/Meaning-Liff.../dp/0330281216

      I also find anything by Bill Bryson makes me chuckle.

      A Walk in the Woods is a good one.

          Last chance to see, not the new Stephen Fry book but the original from Douglas Adams.

          It has a some serious points but it's also extremely funny. Life changing stuff, probably my favourite book of all time.
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            Catch 22

            Spike milligan’s war diaries, especially: “Adolf Hitler: my part in his downfall” and the follow up “Mussolini: his part in my downfall” – just the titles are funny….

              Politicians are wonderfull people, as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, like working for a living!

                I'll second that " How long was I in the army? Five foot eleven."

                  A Confederacy of Dunces

                  or

                  Vive La Revolution
                  We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it.
                  - Douglas Adams

                    I'm tempted to try "And Another Thing" to see what Eoin Colfer has done to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

                    I expect to be disappointed though.

                      I expect your expectations to be fully met.

                      Why can't they leave the 'classics' alone?

                      I read somewhere the other day that 'The Wind in the Willows' was to have a sequel featuring a new, fiesty, female character. WTF?
