Highly amusing if rather wrong?

Just sit on your hands whilst reading it.
And then you rub his nose in it and throw him out into the garden?

Did you really find 1984 funny?
I threw it in to see if anyone was reading my posts. 
Sooty makes a good call on Animal Farm though, that made me laugh and cry... As does nearly everything in my life.

So was I. 
Hmm my favourite kids book would be the Griffalo.
A terribly curmudgeonly beast who lives in the forest before lumbering out to snarl at good natured comedy writers.
It can only be driven off by bopping it on the nose with a Horne and Corden DVD.
I like the Adrian Mole books too. Haven't read the latest one yet.

Good call in the new one he gets prostate cancer.
Perhaps no more Mole soon...
Used to love them Adrian Mole books.
They're still pretty good.
Ian Bateman is also ace.
Especially Cycle of Violence.
Jane Austen a top call.
Kurt Vonnegut's trilogy based on his WW2 experiences - Sirens of Titan, Slaughterhouse 5 and Cat's Cradle - are brilliant (and a big influence on Douglas Adams)
More and more making realise what I forget.
Vonegutt is the dog's bollocks. Especially loved Player Piano and Mothernight.

Never thought of them as a trilogy, buy yes all very good, though not necessarily for their humour.
Oh, and Milligan's Rommel, My Part... is another good shout. I loved Spike.
