Wil Forbis lets his iconoclast flag fly with Acid Logic, a funny and near-funny collection of hilarious funny rants about all sorts of things, some really great interviews (the Great Kat interview, despite all your inclinations otherwise, is not fake), and Wil's bizarre upside-down-world fiction. He is very much like Will Self in his fictitious view of how the world might be if things were the opposite of what they are, which makes him a true iconoclast in that sense. This is a great book for the bathroom because the pieces are broken up into easily pinched off sections that take about as long to read as it does to see a man about a dog. Forbis may not be for everyone, but nothing good ever is. He's a truly original talent and Acid Logic is a great cross-section of an intellectually curious mind.

While this book may be the author's first print title, he is no stranger to writing. Wil's blog, My So-called [...], has archives going back to September 2000. Anyone on the fence about buying the book should feel free to peruse his blog: [...]

Of these, my favorite is definitely the last section, Fiction. Inside this section you will find two stories, The Parish Hill Slasher/Pruner and The Suckiest Superhero In The World.
The former tells the story of someone who has been doing what he loves (killing people) for some time and then gets an offer of monetary compensation to continue doing so, in a more targeted area.
The latter tells the story of Plasma-Man, a "hero" not unlike the one Will Smith plays (at least in the beginning) in the upcoming film Hancock, or so the trailers indicate.
