keener or more keen ?

My dictionary says comparative and superlative forms of 'keen' is more and most, which I agree and understand.

However, most of my grammar books and some of "Yahoo answers" say 'keener' and "keenest' are proper.

I'm quite confused between keener and more keen, and 'keener' sounds like a person to me - like a moderner or stranger.

What do you think the proper forms are?

So woud I. It's a one-syllable word. Therefore, i feel the -er and -est suffixes should be applied.
