Laugh Out Loud

Over on her blog Jennifer Weiner has highlighted the fact that none of the editors from The New York Times Book Review could name a book, written by a woman, that made them laugh out loud. (Many of them named Catch-22, which personally, makes me want to poke my eyes out with a sharp pencil.)

No female authors at all. Which is sad and slightly bizarre as when I put in the phrase "laugh out loud" into the Trashionista search engine I come up with 149 posts.

Jennifer Weiner often has me chuckling away. But what about you? Which female authors make you laugh out loud?

    Authors who always make me laugh? Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Jennifer Crusie and Jen Lancaster.

  • Kelly P.

    That&#39s easy: Jen Lancaster & Caprice Crane....the kind of laugh out loud funny where I make my husband listen as I read him passages of their books while we are trapped in cars or planes..... ;)

  • Reading Marian Keyes and Sophie Kinsella always gets me strange stares in the subway because they always have me laughing out loud!

  • sophia maria

    Rita Mae Brown&#39s early novels - Six of One - Southern Discomfort - Bingo - Loose Lips - for example, had me rolling on the floor!

  • danegrrl

    Sophie Kinsella, Jennifer Weiner, Jen Lancaster, Janet Evanovich, Meg Cabot, Stacey Ballis, Stephenie Meyer (who cares if she&#39s YA?).



    So many. This is why I canceled my subscription to the NY Times. IDIOTS!
