Children's books are great for getting an overview of a new subject.

You want some adult books that arent full of negative crap go read some Terry Pratchett. All my life these are some of the only ones that make me laugh out loud consistently while still having a great plot, characters, and just overall excellent writing in so many ways.

I purchased Going Postal in an airport. I ended up laughing out loud on a plane.

And when you're done you go read Douglas Adams, and not just the book with the towels.

I also highly reccomend the Myth books by Robert Aspirin.

Just don't read the biography. I just finished it, and while it's amazing it will leave you devastated.

I scoffed at the idea of a comedy book until I my friend lent me one of Terry's books. It was so funny, great jokes and great characters.

Good Omens (the book, by Gaiman and Pratchett) is also hilarious.
