Just here for the reading and commenting, won't be posting. (I hope).
One-fifth of the Eve's Alexandria blogging and beer-drinking collective. Our mission: to liberate innocent books from the eeevil shackles of capitalism by, er, buying them. Lots of them. When I'm not amassing a TBR pile to make the very gods tremble, I lecture in medieval Islamic history, currently (2011-12) at Lancaster University.
I can neither confirm nor deny the rumour that I did a D.Phil. purely for the "Hi, everybody!" / "Hi, Dr Nic!" possibilities.
