Ask HN: What's your top-tier reading with well-written humor?

4 pointsby milkoolong4 months ago
I find it difficult to process comedy and humor, and would like to discover books with well-written humor to study; the way I've been studying known stand-up comedians. Thank you!

I just started posting a “humor” short story series i’m doing almost daily on tiktok and soon substack —<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tiktok.com&#x2F;@blondynwrites" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tiktok.com&#x2F;@blondynwrites</a><p>It’s titled — Big City, Short Story<p>Not saying it’s top-tier by any means but the writing style is designed to be funny, while being satire, in a ‘Pop Art’ &#x2F; Almost Dr. Seussian sense.

Terry Pratchett&#x27;s Disc World comes to mind. It&#x27;s not generally exuberant, forced humor with maximum-impact punchlines, but more the laid-back, jolly sort. It also has a big fan following.
