The Mammoth Book of Wierd News: Geoff Tibballs (Ed.) Purchased at Airport to help pass travel time. Contains some very amusing stories, some of which I had to question the integrity of the reporting. I actually laughed out loud at a couple.
Can anyone recommend some humorous writers? I like reading Tim Cahills books and Jon Ronson has some very funny moments.

I'm reading Stanislaw Lems science-fiction novel "Lokaltermin". The book has never been translated into English. Sadly, I don't speak Polish, so I read it in German instead.
Major topics of the book are: the problems of the society of plenty based entirely on automated production where individuals have little to do; imposition of ethical laws through technology i.e. the ethicsphere which has made it impossible to harm individuals physically; and the ideological opposition of two dominant systems, which is basically a parody of Western-Soviet Union split taken to the absurd.
