The “anti-work” movement gets a lot of fuel from the comedy of anger and the comedy of frustration — notably developing via memes, a popular sub-Reddit, and cult hero Teenage Stepdad — and Lane-McKinley’s eye-opening book is inspiring in how it shows that comedy can be a weapon.

Comedy Against Work is a decidedly academic title, analyzing the state of mass-media humor to a thorough, fascinating level, arriving at truths about the human condition and how truly bleak things have become. In Evanier’s short story collection, every interaction Bruce has is tinged with the same sort of uncomfortable humor—and all Bruce can do about it is keep laughing. Mike Sacks is a master of a particular type of writing that he probably invented or at least perfected — a dazzling, tricky act of written performance art, composing an entire manuscript from the point of view of a fictional character. As she throws herself into the writing, she discovers that more could threaten her mother’s legacy than just this book.

Levy provides historical and cultural context to explain not just why Belle Barth and Phyllis Diller were important, but why they were so funny, too. But when one visit goes horribly wrong, Felix dodges the police and tries to find out what actually happened. Just a little reminder to those who have suggested books to be added to this thread: only you (or someone else who has read them and wishes to vote for them) can add these to the list. What follows is a super fun romp complete with opulence, social climbing and sabotage (dun dun dun).

The book focuses on the years the author spent backstage at Conan (and, briefly, The Tonight Show), delivering anecdotes about the world of late-night TV and her steadfast, wildly funny, and oddly inspiring aversion to work. If you've never read any Moore, and you're looking for a book that will make you both laugh and think, I highly recommend Lamb: the Gospel according to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal.

Anchorboy is quintessentially Onrait, at times funny, surprisingly earnest and so very Canadian, or ‘CANADIAN!which is part memoir, part lifestyle advice and comedy anecdote fest, was on the New York Times Bestsellers list for five weeks. Not only does Ten Steps to Nanette help explain why Nanette worked, as well as outline Gadsby’s aims for the project, but it’s also the sweetest, warmest, and most delightfully and casually funny comedian memoir in a decade. At first glance, a novel about a teenager with Asperger's syndrome solving a Sherlock Holmes-style mystery about finding a neighbour’s dog dead on the lawn, impaled on a garden fork, doesn’t sound rich in comedy.
