Why Books Make Us Laugh?

Why do books make us laugh?  Well, click on over to Huffington Post for all the details.  What it boils down to is this: 

"Why do we laugh just by looking at some ink on a page? Because in our imaginations we recreate the story, parts of us think it's real, and we react to benign violations just like we do in real life. You can read a frightening story, or an adventure story, from the safety of your living room: it's the pleasure of something that feels scary but is actually safe."-Huffington Post

What was the last novel that made you laugh out loud?  Mine was one of the many essays found in the David Sadaris Collection.
