Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
well!.!. from guy's point of view!.!.
It's Kind of a Funny Story-- Ned Vizzini
King Dork-- Frank Portman (this one cracked me up)
Saint Iggy-- K!.L!. Going (it has some sad points, though)
Fat Kid Rules the World-- K!.L Going
The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl--Barry Lyga
uhmm thats all i can think of that's from guy's point of view!.
also, there's Impulse by Ellen Hopkins, but it's sad!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love Meg Cabot (Heather Wells & Queen of Babble) and Sophie Kinsella's (Shopaholic [soon to be movie] & Remember Me) Emily Giffin (Something Borrowed & Something Blue, Baby Proof) books!. I am in the process of reading Jennifer Weiner's (Good In Bed & Certain Girls) books!. They are all great authors!

For a young adult/teen I recommend Meg Cabot's young adult books!. She is the best author!. also best selling!. She wrote tons of books including the Princess Diaries (Movies based on her books), Mediator (upcoming movie), 1-800-Missing (TV show based on her books), Jinx, Airhead and more!. She has adult books too, so you can grow with her!.

Read the "Jack Henry" series by Jack Gantos!. He writes about his life when he was younger, and it's really funny and interesting!. It might be aimed towards younger readers, but it's easy and fun to read!.

My favorite one in the series is "Jack's New Power," about the year he lived in Barbados in the caribbean!.

One story that I remember (not sure if it's from that book or a different one) was that for a shop class Jack had to make something out of wood, carpenter something!. His dog had just died, so he made a coffin, and buried his dog in it!. The next week, it turns out the teacher needs to SEE the coffin to grade it!. So he has to go and dig it up, and he does, and it's gross!. I don't know, it doesn't sound that funny when I write it here, but it really is good stuff!.

I read these books when I was a kid and I still like reading them now (and I'm 22)!
Fun stuff!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Check out Ted Dekker!. He isn't funny, but if you like suspence, then look at him!. He does good horror!. He is a Christian author, but he is at the same level of Stephen King!. Without the cuss words!. (If you like horror, I would recommend "House") Once again, I know that you asked for funny, but these are awesome!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
