Kneeturning Pageslappers: Schlocko's 50 Favorite Comic Novels and Story Collections

Not all of the books listed are intentionally or exclusively comic. Some are collections which include both satirical and naturalist stories (see David Foster Wallace), some humorist essays in narrative form (see Erma Bombeck), some are pure fabrication presented as fact (see J. Edgar Hoover), and some are just hysterically bad (see Grace Metalious).
