What is Humor?

Humor is "what makes stuff funny" and has the "power to evoke laughter." You will be exploring humor in a novel of your choice.



It is very important that you make wise decisions in this project since this is one of two major projects before the end of the year and it will take you several weeks.



For your individual novel, you get to choose a novel that uses humor. Making a good choice of novel will make this easier for you. Choose a novel that will expand and challenge your humor. Do not choose a novel just because you think it is short; this often makes things more difficult. Do not try to get away without reading the novel. This is a novel project - you need to READ a novel.

Make Wise Choices!

Make Wise Choices!

Step One

Step One: Choose a novel.  You may look at the list for ideas, but it does not have to be one from the list.  You can also look on my bookshelf for humor books.  Then talk to me about your choice before you begin. You may want to have several choices since I won't approve everything.


Novel Choice Ideas

Here are more ideas that people swear are good:
  • Dave Barry
  • Helen Fielding "Bridget Jones's Diary"
  • Garrison Keillor
  • Tom Bodett
  • Jasper Fforde
