Um, yeah, some of the point of this web site is to promote my books–i.e. to spend your hard earned money.  But more than just the grubby mercenary motives behind selling my books, I want to encourage you to buy books in general.  As Emily famously said, books take you worlds away (‘there is no frigate like a book to take you worlds away) and pretty much allow you to visit any place, any time, listen and see things real life can’t show you.  A book is one person in a room writing; it’s not filtered through multiple people, actors, directors, scriptwriters, like most other media.
So, buy books.  If possible buy them from independent booksellers.  Even better buy them from independent women’s/gay/lesbian/ progressive booksellers.
