Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Society discovering vegetables can taste good if you toss them with oil and spices and bake them instead of boiling them only in the 21st century is like when you find out about when the last eugenics programs were abolished or certain places not letting women have bank accounts until recently.
