Teen Read Week

Teen Read Week, a week in which we librarians like to emphasize reading for teens (as if we don't do that all the time), is in October. This year it's October 14-20 and the theme is LOL @ your library. So, to help us prepare for that week (and any other time, really), tell us what your favorite funny books are. They don't have to be for teens - just books that make you laugh.

Some of my favorites are:
The Giggler Treatment - Roddy Doyle
The Princess Diaries series - Meg Cabot (her blog is funny, too)
Invincible: Family Matters - Robert Kirkman
Wizard at Work - Vivian Vande Velde
the Amelia Rules comics - Jimmy Gownley
the Bone comics - Jeff Smith
George Speaks - Dick King-Smith
Howie Monroe and the Doghouse of Doom - James Howe (a parody of Harry Potter)
the Pagan series - Catherine Jinks
Son of the Mob - Gordon Korman
Scrib - David Ives
