But, instead of checking out that book, I decided to read his latest one, Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits, after hearing it get talked about on one of the podcasts that he was on. His writing on Cracked, and his appearances on the Cracked podcast, are often my favorite additions to the community, and I was really enamored with his first novel, John Dies at the End. That book was a lot of fun, and I really need to get around to reading its sequel one of these days. These writers have honed their comedic chops, and story-telling abilities on Cracked and then have created some really inventive and hilarious novels. And, for the most part, they’ve had great success. So of course I’ve been really excited to see some of the early writers from the site branch out and try their hands at novels. The site’s blend of information and comedy was exactly what I was into, and I adored learning things from the site. When I was in high school the site was kind of everything I loved. I’ve mentioned on the site before, but I have a real fond place in my heart for the writers of Cracked.
