A book with a gimmick can work. 'The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists' by Gideon Defoe is a series of short, absurdist novels with silly footnotes and anachronistic jokes. The humor is childish in the best way, like a Monty Python sketch in book form. Quick to read and easy to discuss in terms of pure ridiculousness.

Don’t overlook graphic novels! 'Nimona' by Noelle Stevenson is fast, visually hilarious, and deceptively deep. The dynamic between the villain and his sidekick is pure comedic gold with a heart. It’s a one-sitting read, so the discussion can focus on the humor in the art, the quirky dialogue, and the subversion of hero/villain tropes. Great for a lighter meeting or if you want to mix up your format.

My dissenting opinion: many books hailed as hilarious fall flat in a group if the humor is too dry or referential. We tried 'Catch-22' and half the members found it exhausting. The cyclical logic is funny on paper but a slog to discuss chapter-by-chapter. For a club, you need consistent pacing and jokes that land in conversation, not just in silent reading.

Dark humor requires the right group. 'My Sister, the Serial Killer' by Oyinkan Braithwaite is a slim Nigerian novel about a woman who keeps cleaning up her sister’s murders. The deadpan delivery of horrific events is brilliantly, darkly funny. It’s a tension-breaker that leads to conversations about family loyalty and societal pressures.

A pick that’s a bit out there: 'John Dies at the End' by David Wong is a horror-comedy that’s genuinely terrifying and laugh-out-loud funny in equal measure. The narrative voice is cynical and referential, and the plot is a wild, drug-trip adventure. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it book, but if it clicks, the discussion will be incredibly animated.

For a group that might enjoy non-fiction but still wants a narrative, try a compelling memoir. 'Educated' by Tara Westover reads like a novel with its incredible personal journey from isolation to academia. The discussions it sparks are inevitable and powerful—about family, education, and self-invention. It's gripping and provides so much real-world material to talk about beyond just plot points. It often leads to people sharing their own related experiences.

I’m just gonna throw this out there: 'John Dies at the End'. It’s a chaotic, gross, hilarious horror-comedy about two slackers fighting interdimensional weirdness. The humor is deeply weird and referential. Our discussion was less about theme and more about sharing the most bizarre passages and trying to explain the plot to each other. It’s a book that thrives on cult appeal, so if your club clicks with it, the meeting will be loud and full of quotes.

We always dedicate the last 20 minutes of our dark book meetings to 'palate cleansing.' We go around and quickly share one completely unrelated, happy thing we're reading, watching, or looking forward to. It's a hard reset that sends everyone home on a lighter note, ensuring the book club remains a net-positive social event in people's lives.

Our club's most successful humor pick was a complete accident: 'A Man Called Ove' by Fredrik Backman. We expected a grumpy-old-man comedy, but it’s so much more. The humor is dry and rooted in Ove’s inflexible principles, but the book slowly reveals his tragic past and capacity for love. The discussion was incredibly rich, covering grief, community, and how we judge people. The humor never feels cheap; it serves the character. Everyone had a story about an 'Ove' in their life. It’s a book that makes you laugh and cry, and that emotional range gives a book club a huge amount to connect with and discuss.
