Another is 'Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe' by Fannie Flagg. It tells stories of the South in a very engaging and often humorous way.

Sure. 'Catch - 22' by Joseph Heller is a classic. The circular logic of 'Catch - 22' in the military bureaucracy is both maddening and hilariously satirical. For example, a pilot can be declared insane for wanting to fly dangerous missions, but if he asks to be grounded because he's insane, that's considered a sane act so he has to keep flying.

It's a humorous novel that many people can relate to, especially in terms of the main character's comical attempts at love and self - improvement.
