funny nonfiction
I need some more laugh out loud nonfiction to read. I've only read 2 that made me laugh. They are Ballad of the Whiskey Robber by Julian Rubinstein and Winterdance BY Gary Paulsen. I need some more recomendations thanks Kenney

Jim Norton, comedian, has two books out. Give him a look.

Willie Nelson has published a few books, including "The Facts of Life (And Other Dirty Jokes)." It's a thin read, unlike his excellent "Willie: An Autobiography," which is less humorous, but a book I strongly suggest.

Story of Civilization, by Will Durant - 11 volumes of a summarization of history since the dawn of man to Napoleon. It's not a complete historical treaty, rather its written to be accessible to everyday people (read: non-historians/those who don't study every minute detail of history) and is full of the authors humorous wit

Bill Bryson, by far. Note The Life & Times of the Thunderbolt Kid is fiction.
Most of his other works, including his best (In a Sunburned Country, A Walk in the Woods), are non-fiction.
