...What’s the last book to make you laugh?
Thomas
Bernhard’s “My Prizes.” I read it recently at a cafe, and I was
laughing out loud countless times — and I hardly ever laugh. It is an
incredible funny book. The only other book I had laughed as much at was
Céline’s “Death on the Installment Plan.” I don´t know why I find their
escalating misanthropy so funny, but maybe it is because they are right,
and if they are right, the only thing you really can do about it is to
laugh...link
