This is by far one of the handiest, truth- (and expletive) filled, cry-inducingly funny books I have ever read.  No matter what bit of advice Mr. Wendig puts out there, it'll be spun with the kind of humor that makes you laugh, but not think.  You're on your own for that.Mr. Wendig puts down twenty Top 25 lists and each one of them is chock full of sage advice, pearls of wisdom and plenty of laughs.  I'm actually doing "The Chuck Wendig Challenge (That Chuck Wendig Has Nothing To Do With)," where I'm taking his list of 25 writing exercises and drawing one randomly for each day in December and following that exercise.  Tomorrow's is the one where you're supposed to write about the freedom of pantslessness (while writing pantsless).If you're a writer, pick up this book.  If you're not a writer, pick it up anyway, because it's so damn funny.  Maybe you'll become a writer anyway.
