looking to lift myself out of a deep depression, so nothing too heavy, these books have been recommended but I can only afford to get one, which one or do you know of a better one?
Good Omens - Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
Running with Scissors - Augusten Burroughs

I agree, I read Good Omens and it's a feel good witty book
All these three are very funny, but I actually would recommend Nick Hornby's About a Boy. I don't know if you've seen the movie or not but it's based on that book and it's absolutely hilarious. I loved it, laughed so many times at his arrogance and self-centered-ness and had great fun =)

I have found that when depressed, I don't want to think deeply. Dave Barry fiction as in Deep Trouble is ideal. Get Hitchikers on tape from the library, original radio play and it's better than the book which is far better than the movie. Good luck and best wishes

Running w/ scissors is not funny, it's a biography. It's about a teen finding out about his sexuality. (Homosexual)
Hitchhikers guide .... is a sci-fiction book often found on teenagers summer reading list.
I recommend No 1 Ladies Detective Agency or any of the books in this series because they are comical! I also liked curious incident of the dog

Good Omens is genius but the Hitchhikers Guide is funnier.. I've never read "running with scissors". I myself, for a good giggle, love Tom Robbins

Good Omens is pretty good, But my most fav. is a series of books by Janet Evanovich-Steohanie Plum series about a female bounty hunter VERY funny I've read all of them a couple of times and I stll lmao- by the way why don't you join a library for free and check out a bunch of funny books and save yourself some $$
