Rae: A Little Humorous Help

I can see that some of you are finding it difficult to think of something "funny" to read. Don't stress over this month's assignment, ladies. Almost every genre has funny elements...even murder mysteries. In fact, one of my favorite plots involved some birdwatchers and binoculars were the murder weapon! Just find something that has humorous elements in it, even if it's a children's or YA book.

Here are some authors you might try: Douglas Adams, Meg Cabot, Piers Anthony, Robert Benchley, PG Wodehouse, Roald Dahl, "The Egg and I" (old but very funny), Garrison Keillor, Daniel Pinkwater, Bill Cosby, Dave Barry and Bailey White, and John Mortimer.

And don't give up. Some things that strike one person funny won't necessarily do the same to you. Like Lynness, put it down and look for another title.

Good luck and happy reading!
