We've gotten a lot of suggestions! I wanna throw some into the ring too 🙂 * author David Wong (AKA Jason Pargin) for dark yet hilarious sci-fi - start with JOHN DIES AT THE END or FUTURISTIC VIOLENCE AND FANCY SUITS * author Harrison Scott Key for a very funny alternative to David Sedaris (I actually like Key better) - start with THE WORLD'S LARGEST MAN (winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor) * graphic novel (manga) series MASHLE for a bizarre and hilarious cross between One Punch Man and Harry Potter * book series by Kira Jane Buxton, start with HOLLOW KINGDOM for dark yet funny romps with zombies (also nominated for Thurber Prize) Melody Flick Adult Services Librarian Findlay-Hancock County Public Library 206 Broadway Findlay, OH 45840 findlaylibrary.org<https://findlaylibrary.org/> 419.422.0576 [log in to unmask] ________________________________ From: Fiction Discussion List <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Diana Tallent <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, November 13, 2022 11:50 AM To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Humor Recommendations? Hi ya'll! In 26 days, and maybe sooner, if I'm lucky/on top of things, I will turn in my final assignment for my MLIS program at SJSU. (*knocks on wood) At that point, I would like to decompress by spending some time reading and watching fun, funny books and movies, so I am here asking you if you would please recommend your favorite humorous book(s) or movies (or podcasts or whatever), if you're so inclined. All formats and genres are fair game. In case you're wondering about titles I have found amusing, some that have tickled my funny bone are: Books: The Hitchhiker's Guide series by Douglas Adams Welcome to Nightvale by Joseph Fink So Lucky by Dawn O'Porter Movies: Liar Liar Mrs. Doubtfire The Great Race — my all-time favorite comedy movie which I quote with my family and re-watch regularly. If you haven't seen it, run to request a copy via ILL if you can find it or watch it on Prime Video or purchase it on Amazon I know I can Google it, and I have, but I am interested in what you all may come up with that doesn't show up on the usual lists. Thank you in advance!!! 🙂 ~Diana ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the FICTION_L list, click the following link: http://ccpllists.cuyahogalibrary.net/scripts/wa.exe?TICKET=NzM4NTAyIG1mbGlja0BGSU5ETEFZTElCUkFSWS5PUkcgRklDVElPTl9MIP9fc1rf6g%2Bj&c=SIGNOFF<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fccpllists.cuyahogalibrary.net%2Fscripts%2Fwa.exe%3FTICKET%3DNzM4NTAyIG1mbGlja0BGSU5ETEFZTElCUkFSWS5PUkcgRklDVElPTl9MIP9fc1rf6g%252Bj%26c%3DSIGNOFF&data=05%7C01%7Cmflick%40FINDLAYLIBRARY.ORG%7C43e3e6092edd422825f808dac59737a9%7C9952a8df1d1447c4a61ce72f5a0182ef%7C0%7C0%7C638039551134225080%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=FyGGB5atIB6jOKTAcVvJhELRzoEbsjTi5gcd9lh3rqI%3D&reserved=0> ________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: E-mail sent is generally subject to Ohio Public Records Law except as otherwise provided by Ohio law or under a legal privilege.
