I take a lot of classes, so all I really think about is books.

I also think it helps that Black Books has a fusty and careworn feel - it could be the 1950's, it could be the 1930s.

When we released the record it was bigger than anyone could have imagined so we're sort of playing catch-up now and doing the touring and all the stuff you normally do before you have a big hit. All the festival gigs and everything.

I like drifting off into books. It is fun to discover how it will end.

This is the sixth book I've written, which isn't bad for a guy who's only read two.

I was always a really big fan of R. L. Stine and the 'Goosebumps' T.V. series and the 'Goosebumps' books.
