Life is hard. We all know that. But sometimes, we need a break from all the seriousness. That’s where funny books come in. They can make us laugh and lighten our mood, even for a little while. So forget the world’s problems and indulge in one of life’s simplest pleasures — reading a funny book! From classics to contemporary, we have something for everyone. So here are some of my favorite funny books to read when I need a break from reality.
God I Feel Modern Tonight by Catherine Cohen
A Dorothy Parker for our time, a Starbucks philosophe with no primary-care doctor, this poet and rising megastar is a welcome new breed of everywoman—a larger-than-life best friend, who will say all the outrageous things we think but never say out loud ourselves.

House of Trelawney by Hannah Rothschild
A dazzling novel both satirical and moving, about an eccentric, dysfunctional family of English aristocrats, and their crumbling stately home that reminds us how the lives and hopes of women can still be shaped by the ties of family and love.
