Grant County Library

Talk About Literature in Kansas is a program for every Kansan who loves to read and discuss good books. The Friends of the Grant County Library Foundation is proud to sponsor for Fall, 2008; That’s Funny: Books That Make Us Laugh. We are often told that “laughter is the best medicine.” Laughter has also made for some of the best reading since the time of the ancient Greeks. Books that make us laugh are often just plain fun to read, as can be seen by their regular presence on bestseller lists. At the same time, the very best funny books are also much more. In the hands of master writers, humor helps us look (warts and all) at what is human and what makes society tick- two topics a the heart of the humanities.
