If your taste in humor trends toward the absurdist, check out anything by _why the lucky stiff.

    Great recommendation. Just a good book all around. The illustrations make subject matter accessible to many.

Hilarious might be a stretch, but Starting Forth by Leo Brodie is definitely amusing and prompted a chuckle or two. You can read it for free online. I was lucky enough to track down a second hand copy. It is out of print sadly.

Different and lighthearted enough for me to recommend.
