If you can find them there are quite a few threads on this topic over the years. Not a criticism, just suspect you will find lots of recommendations there.

Happy New Year, Jim! You didn't mention your preferences, so I'll take
a shot. If you enjoy satire, any of the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett are
magnificent. Pratchett uses a fantasy setting ("the Discworld") full of
hilarious, memorable characters to make commentary on real world social,
political, and religious matters. He ended up writing dozens of Discworld books
and, generally, the later the book entry, the more polished the product. Utter
genius, and it WILL make you laugh. Trent King

Crazy 08, great read. Also, The Ball a fast read about how a couple guys traveled from stadium to stadium in hopes of catching the Big numbered HR`s
during the Sosa/Mcquire chase.
