HELP!!!

I need to find me some funny!
I have been reading a lot of dark books lately. The World As We Knew It, Beautiful Creatures, Before I Fall, Crank etc. Don't get me wrong...they have been great books. But I'm feeling the need to lighten up just a bit. What I'm asking you for-because you are the experts in my humble opinion are some suggestions and recommendations for some laugh-out-loud books. So come on people-Help me find some funny!

    I have not read any of her books, but the patrons at the library where I work say that Janet Evanovich is laugh-out-loud funny.

    I remember The Boy Who Couldn't Sleep and Never Had To by DC Pierson being pretty funny, a bit racy sometimes, but very funny.

    "Basket Case"/ "Skinny Dip" by Carl Hiassin, "A Dirty Job" or "Fool" by Christopher Moore, and "Big Trouble" by Dave Barry are all pretty hilarious.

    If you want more of a girlish tone, pick up "Agnes and the Hitman" by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer. (http://tipsyreader.com/books/reviews/book-review-agnes-and-the-hitman/)

    Hope that helps!!
