Or, you know, read them wherever. I’m not fussy about things like that. The important thing is that you improve your life, and my life, by buying my books. You do have an essential regard for yourself, right? You want to be happy, don’t you? Because it’s all right for you to be happy. If somebody’s told you that it’s not, I think you should look at their lives. I think that you’ll find that those lives are full of anger, and pettiness, and endless drama. Doesn’t it sound nicer to not be like that kind of person?
(And if you can’t do it on your own, it’s okay to go to some kind of therapy about it. I understand that you don’t want to get addicted to it, or anything, but that just means you have to be careful. You can get addicted to painkillers, too — but if you’ve just had surgery, you’re not any less of a person for temporarily needing the painkillers. If you have bad vision, you’re not any less of a person for needing to wear glasses. And if you have trauma or issues that you can’t treat on your own, you’re not any less of a person for using a professional to direct your mental recovery.)

PS …Err, right. Buy my books for Labor Day! Or, you know, anything else that’s both ethical, and makes you happy.
I’ve already read all your books.
Write more books.

Be patient. Writing those things takes time. Unless you are Brandon Sanderson. He has perfected some kind of time-dilation technology that allows him to write books at a freakishly fast pace. The rest of us must slog along at George R.R. Martin speeds.
