2below: I found both of these books amusing. Different types and styles of humor but fun if you enjoy some silliness.

This was way better than Brooding YA Hero.

I can't believe this is shelved as non-fiction at the library. (

This book was very funny and full of interesting facts and insight into what it means to be evil. I really enjoyed picking out my name (Mistress NightFury), lair (medieval castle), henchmen (gargoyles) and formulating my secret evil plans (these are secret) to unleash on the world. Great book. Definitely worth the read. (

This was a fun, lighthearted little book. Every once in a while I like to take a break from "serious" reading and take in something fun. This fit the bill perfectly, it is a fast read that doesn't really need any serious analysis to get into. (
