Classic humour, Socially satirical

None

A short history of nearly everything - Bill Bryson

Often funny and sometimes hilarious

Darkly comic and original novel

None that I can think of at the moment

Easy to get into, funny, immersive, and interesting to see how modern Mole is today

Billy Connolly's World Tour of Australia - Billy Connolly

Informative, funny.

You want to go to Australia (expensive!)
