Compare this to my girlfriend giggling continuously, laughing out loud and even squealing when reading a book (and not occasionally; sometimes multiple times per chapter, or even per page), and I often think to myself: "You're overdoing it. It's just a young adult fantasy novel... sjees."
Maybe I'm just old and grumpy (already).

Hum, I'm getting on up there and I still find myself getting emotionally engaged in books that I read. Can't say that I've ever actually squealed while reading a book, being a manly sort of guy
, but definitely I've laughed.
I will say that comedy in books seems to be a bit of a lost art though, but that could simply be because old fashion comedy a la Mel Brooks and such seems to be dying off.
