 Three Men in a Boat is still one of the funniest novels ever written.  Written in 1889, it is a gentle account of three men (and a fox terrier) taking a boat trip along the Thames.  This a book that actually does make me laugh out loud.

As it's long out of copyright, you can read it legally here - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/28837


Here's Hugh Laurie reading the opening section  - he is the perfect voice for it.
