AB Reading group - July Book of the Month suggestions please
34 Answers
I am arbitrarily choosing "Books that will make us laugh" as the genre for this month - after a few comments about the 'grim' nature of June's shortlist I thought we should lighten the tone - interpret this as loosely as you wish :+)
Please add your suggestions for specific books to this thread - give a bit of detail about each book (or a link to a synopsis on eg Amazon).
Feel free to endorse other people's ideas - I'll pick a few books for a selection poll in a week or so ...

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.'my family - and other animals' by gerald durrell
durrell is a naturalist, his fascination with animal life began at a very early age.
the book chronicles his life growing up in a number of villas with his family, and his exploration of life at each location.
he injects humour into the chapters with ease .. without giving too much away, my favourite part is the episode involving baby spiders at the dinner table

Agreed Tilly - have you ever tracked down the sequel "Three Men on the Bummel" - not quite as good, but still a very funny book.
