shadowkatThis is Day #8 of the 30 Day Book Challenge.
The prompt is A Funny Book
Not easy for me, mainly because the books I find amusing and funny, many people don't and what others find amusing, I don't.
Why?
Ah.
I don't understand puns. (My family has decided we just didn't pick up the genetic quirk somehow. Mother didn't even know what one was. See, sisinlaw, remarked, some of us don't even know what they are. Because it took a while to define it.)
And embarrassment humor is a major squick for me.
So...I'm going with Elmore Leonard, who along with Carl Haisson, and Janet Evanovich wrote amusing and somewhat sardonic mystery novels. Although Leonard was the best in this group.
The book? Perhaps you've heard of it? Get Shorty
Here's a trailer from the movie adaptation. I liked the book better - although it admittedly, like most Leonard, reads like a screenplay.
