65. Germany

 Look Who's Back by Timur Vermes

Adolf Hitler miraculously regenerates in a park in 2011 Germany. He attempts to continue his crusade, but everyone he comes across either thinks he is a satirical comedian or a brilliant method actor. At one point he is attacked by neo-Nazis, incensed because they assume he is mocking Hitler's memory.

This is an amusing read for a while, but eventually the comedy wears a bit thin. It was made into a film in 2015.
