Suggestions for light hearted/funny reading material (poss sens)

Thats sad news that your friend is going to be going through chemo...

I can't really help with articles but what about some Marian Keyes short stories? Her stuff is funny as anything and a very easy read... think she has done 2 short story collections, believe they are called 'Under the Duvet' or similar... also I'm very into Carl HIaasen at the moment, he is crime writer but very funny too...

Perhaps some of the 'travel size' glossy mags too -big ones are harder to read in bed I find.

Bill Bryson - Notes from a Big Country. Very dip-in-and-outable, it's a collection of newspaper columns (shhh, from the mail on sunday) but very, very funy. It was the first Bill Bryson I read, and I really enjoyed (so much I read the rest).

I thought The Timewaster Letters http://www.amazon.co.uk/Timewaster-Letters-Robin-Cooper/dp/1843171694/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1249465069&sr=1-4 was very funny, and easily to dip in and out of.

Yes! I knew there was something funny I read recently that I wan't to recommend, but couldn't remember what it was! But the timewaster letters (1 and 2) are v v funny.

David Sedaris writes really amusing short stories/sketches.

I love Lucy Mangan.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hopscotch-Handbags-Truth-About-Being/dp/0755316487/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1249468144&sr=8-2

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Family-Other-Disasters-Lucy-Mangan/dp/0852651244/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1249468144&sr=8-1

Both very dip-into-able.

Agree with Bill Bryson too. Also how about Tony Hawks?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Playing-Moldovans-Tennis-Tony-Hawks/dp/0091920353/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1249468339&sr=1-3

http://www.amazon.co.uk/One-Hit-Wonderland-Tony-Hawks/dp/0091882109/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1249468339&sr=1-5

The Risks of Sunbathing Topless is funny and interesting too ?

A collection of women's travel anecdotes..

Thanks for some great suggestions, will have a look at those.

I have read most of the Bill Bryson books and find them very 'laugh out loud' material - thanks for reminding me.

Anything by Clive James - his Unreliable Memoirs are hilarious and you can dip in and out. For something a bit longer Mil Millington's Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About is very funny indeed.

Funny reading material can brighten anyone’s day, offering a perfect escape from stress. Whether it’s a quirky comic strip or a hilarious short story, laughter truly is the best medicine. One time, I laughed so hard reading a piece about a confused customer trying to sign hardware instead of software—yes, actual bolts and screws! These kinds of absurd mix-ups are what make humorous writing so delightful. They turn everyday situations into comedic gold. If you need a break from seriousness, grab a funny book or article—you might just sign hardware with laughter too.

If you're in the mood for light-hearted, funny reading with a twist of health and wellness, check out articles that mix humor with real-life fitness fails, quirky diet trends, or gym bloopers. It’s a great way to stay motivated while enjoying a good laugh. At BestDaily, we blend informative content with engaging reads, especially for men focusing on their health. Whether you're navigating fitness or exploring the best men’s multivitamin testosterone boosters, a touch of humor can make your wellness journey feel less like a chore and more like fun.

I’ve been playing online for quite a while, and living in Canada taught me to be picky when it comes to platforms that actually work smoothly here. I recently started using Alawin Casino after getting tired of constant glitches and confusing layouts elsewhere. What caught my attention first was how calm and organized everything felt from the moment I logged in. I usually play in the evenings after work, so stability matters more to me than flashy design, and so far the platform has handled peak hours without slowing down. Navigation feels logical, and I didn’t have to dig through menus to find basic features. I also noticed that the experience feels consistent whether I’m on my laptop or checking things from my phone. I came across alawin.ca while searching specifically for options that suit Canadian players, and it didn’t feel like a generic platform just “open” to Canada. Instead, it feels adapted to how I actually play. Over time, it became part of my regular routine, especially when I want a relaxed session without surprises. I’m curious how other players in Canada feel about long-term stability on platforms like this. Have you noticed similar differences, or am I just finally at the point where I value simplicity over everything else?
