Dostoevsky is actually very comedic in between the multi-chapter long speeches on God and suffering. The Peavear-Volokhonsky translation of The Brothers Karamazov really preserves this from the original russian. There's also an amazing story towards the beginning of War & Peace where one of the main characters and his friends tie a policeman to a bear.

Hunter S Thompson the one dude that brought me to tears with laughter in fear and loathing in Las Vegas .

“We all have different artists or different writers that speak to us at different points in our lives” So true.

Probably obvious, but Portnoy's Complaint might be the funniest book I've ever read.

Anthony Bourdain is one author that had me laughing pretty good, when he started talking about porn in Kitchen Confidential in particular. One short story that has stuck with me though is Parker's Back by Flannery O'Connor

A guilty pleasure of mine are the writings of Joe R. Lansdale. I learned of him because one of his short stories was made into a film: "Bubba Ho-tep" starring Bruce Campbell. A fun short story by him is "Godzilla's 12 Step Program" which is included in High Cotton. Another good one in that collection is "Steppin' Out, Summer." <a href="http://www.worldcat.org/title/high-cotton-selected-stories/oclc/43662095&referer=brief_results" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.worldcat.org/title/high-cotton-selected-stories/oclc/43662095&referer=brief_results</a>

Boris Vian "Heartsnatcher" surreal, grotesque sometimes brutal but hilarious

The most emotional reading experience I had was with Knausgard's first book of the "My Struggle" series. I laughed, cried, thought, felt and was genuinely absorbed by his writing. I didn't laugh because this book is necessarily funny, even though it definitely has it's comedic moments, but because I thought: "Oh man, I know what you are talking about!". Knausgard made me remember and re-experience the heights and downs of my own life... which are in some cases downright funny when I look back at them.

Henry Miller, Tropic of Capricorn (not Cancer) and Black Spring, "The Tailor Shop". Laughter, release. David Sedaris and Woody Allen: Without Feathers! Fucking hilarious use of allusion to high-brow lit.
