Hey, just quickly mentioning the two following books:

-> "The World According to Clarkson: For Crying Out Loud"
. Good if you enjoy dry humour
. Good if you like a good rant
. Brilliant if you LOVE Top Gear

-> "Thanks For Nothing: Jack Dee"
. Hilarious
. Brilliant if you write columns
. Hugely insightful

god, I hate Jack Dee so much all he can do is insult people more successful than him and make jokes about how boring his life is. Frankie boyle now that's a decent comedian. If you want a good read of those type of books buy his book:

My s*** life so far.

I've read Boyle's book.

It's rude and naive, in my opinion. I mean he's one of my favourite comedians, but that book is badly written and it's completely unnecessary in some points.
I enjoyed it, but to most it would be far too explicit and indecent of a book to most.

Thanks for the suggestion though

It is only a novel... or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language
