In following the discussion this month, I see that people can easily name funny books for young children, but have a harder time coming up with funny books for teens. As we get into Young Adult literature, there are many books that have funny parts, but few that we would call "humor." Is that because it's harder for authors to find what makes teens laugh? Do teens prefer books with funny parts, rather than funny books? Comments?
