There are many things to love about Tim Kreider's collection of essays; they are beautifully crafted, insightful, and laugh-out-loud funny.  But, best of all, they are wonderfully original.  Kreider, known for his satirical cartoons, writes about his life in such a way that enables us to see the absurdity and sublimity of our own lives and of humanity in general.  I recommend reading even just a few of these essays; they will give you a fresh prospective on life and make you laugh.
