This list of comic favorites is offered for the sake of healing, howling, belly shaking laughter.

I've kept it brief--mostly just titles and links. Remember, humor is a highly personal thing. What makes you roll in the aisles may make someone else roll their eyes. Keep an open mind as you surf, try some old favorites and try something you never would have looked at otherwise.

Most of all, have fun and be of good cheer.
Molly

P.S. I have tried to find links for every item sent in by a reader, and in some cases I could not. Also, new entries are coming in every day. If you don't see your suggestion here, it may be included in future lists.

Books

The Healing Power of Humor, Allen Klein

Inconceivable by Ben Elton. Format is the diaries of a husband and wife -- wonderfully funny look at a couple's attempt to get pregnant. From two very different viewpoints!!! My husband almost killed me while I was reading it as he was sick in bed with stomach flu and I was making the bed shake because I was laughing so hard!

Road Angels, by Kent Nerburn. A road trip book with lots of funny material.

Several readers wrote to suggest books by David Sedaris. Take your pick:

• Me Talk Pretty One Day
• Holidays on Ice
• Naked

Marsha Kremen recommends books by Patrick F. McManus. These have a hunting and fishing bent, but are hilarious even to those who don’t hunt and fish.

• They Shoot Canoes, Don’t They
• Never Sniff a Gift Fish

Buddhism for Sheep, Chris Riddell

Buddhism for Bears, Chris Riddell

Feng Shui for Cats, Chris Riddell
(Note from Molly: This is not to be confused with no less than two other books by the same or similar titles. Will wonders never cease?)

Feng Shui for Dogs, Chris Riddell

The Tao of Babies
