We know, life can be depressing sometimes. It can smack us on the footpath and leave us with wails alone. But there is one more thing that it leaves us with – a chance to pick up some of the most humorous books and laugh like there is no tomorrow. Keeping this in mind (well, of course not just this), I've got the top 7 modern comical books written just for you. These books will have you giggling and rolling on the floor with laughter. And as the famous comedian and actor, Steve Martin, once said, "A day without laughter is a day wasted." So, let's not waste any more time and dive into the list, shall we?

"Bossypants" by Tina Fey - In "Bossypants," Tina Fey offers readers a hilarious and insightful look into her life as a comedian and writer. It is an autobiographical memoir that is full of witty anecdotes and sarcastic humor. As a reader, you will be tossed on a journey through her rise to success and the challenges she faced along the way. It's an entertaining and relatable read that will have you laughing out loud while also gaining a deeper appreciation for Fey's talent and hard work.

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams – If you are into comical sci-fi (is there actually anything like this though?), then you must try turning the pages of this book. It is a hilarious science-fiction adventure that follows the hapless human Arthur Dent as he travels through space with his friend, an alien named Ford Prefect. It's a witty and absurd take on the genre that will have you laughing out loud.

"Hyperbole and a Half" by Allie Brosh - A hilarious and relatable book that explores life's everyday struggles through humorous stories and illustrations. This book is a collection of some of the most popular posts from Brosh's blog of the same name. In it, she offers a unique and absurd take on topics like depression, adulthood, and the challenges of owning a pet. Now, who would not want to read about this modern-day stuff? Brosh's wit and humor will have you laughing out loud and nodding your head in agreement at the same time.

"Let's Pretend This Never Happened" by Jenny Lawson – If you keep a thing for memoirs, you have this book looking at you. Another hilarious memoir of the author's life, filled with bizarre and humorous anecdotes. It's a witty and irreverent take on growing up and trying to make it in the world, which is something that worries us all. Or does it not?

"The Rosie Project" by Graeme Simsion - A romantic comedy that follows the socially awkward genetics professor, Don Tillman, as he tries to find love. It's a heartwarming and humorous story that will have you rooting for Don and his unique approach to dating.

"Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris – Well, it is a bit different and is a collection of humorous essays that explore the author's experiences living in France and learning the language. A witty and satirical take on cultural differences and the quirks of everyday life, which has actually made many bibliophiles hoot about it.

"Where'd You Go, Bernadette" by Maria Semple – A comedic mystery that follows the disappearance of Bernadette Fox, a brilliant but eccentric architect. If you are into family, creativity, and chasing your dreams, then please pick up this book and read it.

Each of these books is unique and hilarious in its own way, and I guarantee that they will have you laughing out loud. So, pick up one of these books and let the humor transport you to a world of laughter and joy. You may check out sites like Shopify that sell books & magazine at a competitive price; this is not something to laugh about but to be happy about.
