I have a thing for darker themes and plots; humour doesn't really appeal to me. I understand that it is an important part of any story and its presence is sometimes not optional. But I don't know how to read books or plays that are pure humour. Does one approach them with a light heart and a mood to laugh?
Fairly recently, I reviewed a book whose genre can be described as humour. Read my review here. I enjoyed it quite a lot, but I would never have picked it up on my own. Do you read humourous books? Is laughter the best medicine? Which ones would you recommend?

I think humor is only effective if it matches your own.
I prefer a bit of a dark and twisty humor myself. Like the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. It's dark humor.
I love humor. (Maybe it's better without the extra "u"?)
