The best book on comedy I’ve read

As a writer of novels that blend crime and comedy I've done my fair share of reading of books on plot and writing theory but have always found that books on comedy weren't really about comedy. They tended to be about how to become a standup.
As a result it was refreshing to read something from someone who, like me, professes no desire to do that. Safe behind our keyboards we want to see how the story works and how the comedy works and make it better.
Joel Morris has written one of the only two books I've ever read on the subject of comedy that actually nailed down how comedy works and why it works (and sometimes doesn't). He covers the neuroscience of comedy, reveals why (as I've always said) comedy is more difficult to write than any other genre and, crucially, how to make it less difficult.
I backed the crowdfund for the book so have been looking forward to getting it in my hands for a long time and it was entirely worth the wait, a genuine treasure-trove of advice that comes from having actually done it that is constructed in a way that renders it a) impossible not to laugh at the book and b) impossible not to constantly take away actual examples of how to make your comedy writing better no matter what type of comedy you write.
Whether you are someone who is curious how comedy works or a seasoned writer, this book will fascinate and entertain you.
