    Good for MIB for not tearing a strip off Kyle when he said he's got one of Michael's books on request at the library. I mean, everything I read comes from the library, but I would never admit that to the author's face!

      Libraries are very important to kids' book sales, actually.

      Only shithead authors have problems with people accessing their books through the library, and Mr. Black is no shithead.

    My mom got sick a few years ago, and it’s her story coupled with my story and family history and self-loathing. Dealing with her illness and telling her story and combining that in with my own angst about growing old and dying.

    This is going to be Michael Ian Black's book version of Magnolia, isn't it?

      Welp, now I'm just going to be disappointed when there isn't a break three quarters in which is just the lyrics to Aimee Mann's 'Wise Up'. (Or 'Fire and Rain', being as its MIB.)

    Celebrity children's books may be inessential, but I absolutely plan on buying Danny Brown's Dr. Seuss inspired children's book despite the fact that I'm a 29 year old man with no children.

      Pro tip: Amazon is your friend in this case, nobody wants to see a childless man in the kids section at the bookstore.

      "Do you have Danny Brown's new book?"
      (scoffs) "That's in Juvenile, this is Young Adult. "

    Pumped about his new "grown-up" book. If you guys haven't read it yet, pick up "You're Doing It Wrong," it's an honest, affecting, and hilarious piece of writing.

      I really liked it as well, though I read it while my wife was pregnant, and it terrified me a bit.

      The interviewer kinda tossed that one off casually but the Little Bill books and cartoon were at one point a formidable media presence.

    The year after My Custom Van came out my sister got me a pre-order receipt for MIB's "newest book" for Christmas . I was so excited. I don't remember if it was a week later or a month later, but the book finally came and that book was Chicken Cheeks. It was okay, I guess. It's basically a kids book about rhyming animal butts.

    I feel no obligation to teach my readers anything, to impart any sort of wisdom, to teach any sort of lesson, to instill any sort of morality. All I’m trying to do is make them and their parents laugh.

    I love him.
