The Brand New Monty Python Papperbok. It's pretty old and could be out of print, but it's very funny :P

The Phantom Tollbooth, it's an absolute gem. It pokes fun at numbers and the English language in an amusing way.

Pinnocio Its so diffrent from the disney movie. It was pretty amusing to me as well like this one line when Pinnocio is running away from the thieves and trips over a snake and the snake gets up and as they say"violent laughter" and laughed so hard that he popped a blood vessel and died. I actually like it better than the movie(well the books are always better than the books)

How about Catch-22? It's a slightly more serious funny book, but it's good nonetheless. Some of the passages are just hilarious, because all of these military officers are going around with the most illogical ideas ever and they're dead serious. No time to find quotes right now, but will post later.

Hm, Terry Pratchett's books are humorous, in a sarcastic kind of way. :D
