6 incredibly funny books from the boys

I’ve already waxed on about how much I love light-hearted, easy-to-read books (and, don’t worry, I still do love chick lit), but once in a while I like picking up the equivalent light-hearted, easy-to-read books written for male audience (lad lit?). There is no reason I shouldn’t be able to read them to my heart’s content. I called this post ‘incredibly funny’ but some of these picks border on sarcasm- but I am a fan nonetheless.

Enjoy these fun books!

League of extraordinary gentlemen, Kindle edition £6.58, 228 pages

I’ve been eyeing The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in my husband’s bookcase side for some years now, and it might be time to read it. I’m not a fun of graphic novels but the 19th century London era paired with the gorgeous art by Kevin O’Neil is hard to pass on.

The Sisters brothers, Kindle edition £2,39, 325 pages

If you are my friend in real life there are high chances you have received The Sisters Brothers as a present from me at some point. I love this book so much I want everyone to read it. The witty humour and unusual writing style will get you hooked from the first few pages.

High Fidelity, Kindle edition £5.99, 256 pages

Everyone knows a person like Rob from High Fidelity. Rob loves music, keeps lists on anything and everything and he recently broke up his relationship with Laura, that mattered to him but he doesn’t admit it to anyone including himself.

World war Z, Kindle edition £3.46, 352 pages

I have to admit books about Zombies are not my usual cup of tea but then again 802 glowing reviews on Amazon is hard to ignore. I’m intrigued and I now want to read World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War. This is not a funny haha kind of book but a very enjoyable read- so, I have been told.

The secret diary of Adrian Mole, Kindle edition £4.99, 272 pages

I have already documented my infinite love for Sue Townsend of ‘the woman who went to bed for a year’ fame. I want to read more of her work and the Adrian Mole series is the most popular of her books.Funny, light hearted, touching accounts of a 13-year-old boy.

Cider with roadies, £5,75, 320 pages

Another book for my to-read list. Stuart Maconie describes how he first became aware of music when he was a child and his experiences as a writer for the NME. Cider With Roadies is articulate and witty and a good present for music lovers.
