For something to be "funny", the reader must have some familiarity of
the subject.  The reader has to know what is straight description and
what is humorous description.  

If you are not an American, and don't know what is "normal" in
America, you might not be able to find the humor in an American
author's book.  What we usually laugh at is when the boundaries of
"normal" are pushed.

It's very difficult to recommend a humorous author without know what
your background is.
