The Great Fatsby: The Best of FatCyclist.com, Volume 2 is almost exactly like its namesake, The Great Gatsby. For example, The Great Gatsby is a fictional, poignant account of a young millionaire obsessed witha beautiful debutatne in 1922. The Great Fatsby, on the other hand, is an occasionally-true, wildly exaggerated collection of absurd and allegedly hilarious stories from a middle-aged blogger obsessed with bicycles. See? Same thing, more or less. In this book, you will discover How Fatty ruined two business suits in one second. You will read a story about a plush novelty toy flower, a serial killer, and the dangers of two much caffeine when in a remote area. You will learn the proper way to suck in your gut at a moment's notice. You will even learn how to talk, when tragically necessary, to non-cyclists. And that's just for starters. Taken from what many people consider the Jazz Age of FatCyclist.com, The Great Fatsby is like spending many quality hours with Fatty himself, instead of having to read his blog for four years, waiting for him to occasionally write something readable. Plus, the good bits have now been explained, annotated and otherwise polished to the point where they now actually make sense. In short, The Great Fatsby, more than any other book in the world, belongs on the back of every cyclist's toilet.

Mia's grandmother has been dead for years. So when Mia finds a gift from her - a beautiful pendant and a distressing note - that's odd enough. Soon after, Mia's dreams become haunted by a long-forgotten friend in desperate need of help. Mia's previously ordinary world becomes a fascinating and dangerous place, full of powerful magic and ruthless people. And everyone seems to either want something from her, or to want to do something to her. But Mia is not helpless. As she discovers the strange parallel world, she learns she has unique abilities and power of her own. The question is, will she learn to control these powers - and find out who she can trust - in time?

Comedian Mastermind is the way the unintentionally brilliant Dr. Michael Lämmler once sarcastically described Elden "Fatty" Nelson. Now it's the name of the first Best of FatCyclist.com volume. So take that, Dr. Lämmler. Taken from the first two-ish years of the FatCyclist.com blog, but peppered with new insights, introductions, and an absurd number of footnotes describing what Fatty was thinking as he wrote, this book contains valuable information every cyclist absolutely must know. Marvel at Fatty's penetrating analysis of cycling company ads, his completely scientific method for rating the value of each cyclist you pass during recreational rides, his keen insight regarding how to pee while riding your bike, a whole bunch of epic ride stories, and quite a few pretty decent swipes at Lance Armstrong and the Tour de France. And more. Much more. No, even more than that. Comedian Mastermind is like the FatCyclist blog, but with Fatty standing behind you, reading over your shoulder, and telling you what he was thinking while he wrote and why he wrote it, all while eating a sizable sandwich. And it's only the good parts - none of the stuff where Fatty just phoned it in. It makes excellent bathroom reading material.
