Kudos to you for making it so approachable.

Thank you Lisa! 🙂 A great book that engages with a sense of wonder is The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I believe engaging with feelings is the art of arts.

Feelings are hard to put on the page, so kudos to you!

I'm not sure humor is an engager. Humor goes with curiosity, meaning a joke builds up curiosity which the punch line releases through a surprising revelation. We release (emotional) tension through a catharsis which makes the reader cry. We release (the tension of) curiosity through surprising revelations or a humor hit. Laughter is then as cathartic as tears, just on the cognitive side. If the revelation has a humor hit, we laugh, if it doesn't the reader experiences a moment of awe. Does this make sense?
