The most popular satire books

Satire makes you laugh at things that deserve it. Politicians, institutions, fashions and human vanity are exaggerated until their absurdity shows. Some of these books are gentle and some are savage, and the sharpest are funny and uncomfortable at once. These are comic novels with a point to make.
