A post full of "my ghod, I thought I was the only one" reactions from people who just don't find Terry Pratchett or P.G. Wodehouse very funny. Me neither.

Oh, gawd, me, too!

Can't say I've read much of P.G. Wodehouse, but I also don't find Terry Pratchett consistently funny. I think it's the constant asides and footnotes that wear me down.

However, I find Jasper Fforde roll around on the floor funny, no matter if I read them or listen to the audio book. I love the various accents of the characters.

I love asides and footnotes - if they're funny. So it isn't just that.

Jasper Fforde struck me as clever but not funny, and so needlessly cold and complex that I could care about neither the characters nor the story.

Wodehouse and Pratchett are charming and amusing. Occasionally funny, but it's not like I have to worry about them spraining my laff muscle, and that's alright. Of the two, I enjoy Pratchett more. It may be because he is more modern and I get more of the in-jokes and the social satire.
