An Anthology, carefully containing all the big sellers of the previous decades and ignoring any interesting asides.

The Life of the Party: a New Collection of Stories… von Bennett Cerf
Amusing stories, though I believe my grandparents found it much more amusing than I did. A lot of the reference/ jokes to do with spouses was very much of the "I hate my wife, lol" sorry if humour that I think was very popular as a trope among boomers but that I personally find quite cringe. Still, if you can firmly keep this book in the context of its own tone and culture, it has many funny moments
