I've read everything by David Sedaris. I've never laughed so hard while reading as I have with his books. I also highly recommend listening to him read his own stories - he's incredible.

Bill Bryson is also one of my favourite non-fiction authors.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman is gorgeous. Anything by Neil Gaiman is great, actually. If you're into graphic novels, his Sandman series is wonderful.

Have you read American Gods? It's pretty mindblowing. Our son is partly named for one of the characters 

David Sedaris hysterical. And I have a very distinct memory of sitting in a train station red-faced and shaking from trying not to laugh uproariously while reading Notes From a Small Island.

It took me a really long time to finally read anything by Neil Gaiman, but now I can't stop.
