I read both and found them both funny. Sometimes very moving.

I find that sometimes the ones specifically touted as funny tend to poke fun AT characters, while I tend to empathize too much with them and end up cringing with embarrassment all the way through.
Here's some actually funny books that I can think of:
Off the Wall (funny anecdotes about his experiences as a Kotel Rabbi)
Regards from Camp series (not specifically funny, but lighthearted and amusing) |
I am trying to find the „off the wall“ book, no success so far, could you tell me the author please?

I loved Tzippy Caton's Miracle Ride. I know it's about her journey with cancer, but it's written with tons of humour!

Years ago there was a book called "How to be a Jewish Mother" which was so stereotypical that it was hilarious. Everyone knew a neurotic, manipulative Jewish mother like that.

Books by Henoch Teller are funny. Collections of short stories.
I don't know if they made a book from the "I remember when.." columns by Arnold Fine

I'm reading Mordechai Schmutter's latest book now (They're asking me?) and I can't catch my breath laughing.
It's ultra funny.
Disclaimer: I like all his books, so if you don't find his humor funny, don't bother.
ALSO: the first reactions thread on imamother makes me laugh out loud.
