I usually find that boys like authors like Roald Dahl (e.g. 'Boy', 'The Twits' etc), Paul Jennings, Lemony Snicket and Seuss. They combine action, fast paced stories, clever use of language, absurd life situations, misadventure etc. Boys also like joke books that allow them to dip into them, and share some with friends and family. I did a post on humour <a href="http://trevorcairney.blogspot.com.au/2009/04/key-themes-in-childrens-literature.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>. Hope this is of some use.
