The truth about books...

[curiouswombat]

speakr2customrs posted last night about a conversation with our daughter, sparked off by her purchase of 'Heresies in the High Middle Ages’ for next term of her history degree, and ending with a discussion about Hussite daleks. This is the sort of conversation that goes on in our house - no wonder I love them both!

However, I am going to let you in on the conversation a little earlier as she unwrapped the book.

D-d - "I do like having books," (Pause, considers weight of book)... "except for having to carry them around," (pause, flicks through a few pages of fairly solid text)... "and having to read them, of course."


PS - Chapter Five of Return of the Key will be posted later today.

Interestingly, the theme for the Leeds International Medieval Congress 2009 is Heresies and Orthodoxies, and I'm trying to get a panel together right now for it!

Sounds fun.
