We’ve all had it happen. You’re reading a really funny book and you feel the laughter bubbling up and you just can’t keep it inside and then “bwahhhahahaaa!!!” you burst out as you’re sitting there in your chair, or in a cafe, or on the subway. People’s heads swivel to your outburst and you meet their eyes sheepishly, a small smile on your face as if to say “hey, sorry, this is really funny … ” Then back to the book. That’s the best, isn’t it? We love authors who make us laugh out loud … so we’ve collected a few of our favorites.
