Because if you weren't a little-bit obsessed you wouldn't really feel the need to defend the author's practices or engage in your own speculation about his motivations. Just like I feel the need to speculate about them. You'd just enjoy the books and not give a damn what others thought about him (or the books), and I'd have put them down and moved on without saying a word.

We're all a bit obsessed with George and/or the books and/or they're place in the great genre cosmos or we wouldn't be having this conversation.
