Okay, so it’s like each of these books is a mystery every book is a mystery. And if you read all the books ever written, it’s like you’ve read one giant mystery. And no matter how much you learn, you just keep on learning there is so more you need to learn.

I wanted to do a weird book and reestablish my independent, small-press roots.

That's right, I am a book kisser.

I used to sleep with my books in piles all over my bed and sometimes they were the only thing keeping me warm and always the only thing keeping me alive. Books are the best and worst defense.

The people who loved me when I was seven years old love my books, and the people who didn't like me when I was seven years old don't like my books.

Books and beer are the best and worst defense.
