Cambridge University Library

I joined the Cambridge University Library today. It's a quirky place, unlike any library I've ever visited. I was reminded of Terry Pratchett's Unseen University Library. I could well imagine time and space warping in there, and me getting thoroughly lost, wandering around the many many shelves of books, forever.

At one point I was looking for a book which, according to a note on the shelf sign, could be found behind the stairs, except there was a wall in the way. I imagined that maybe the wall might open up into another section of the library in another dimension, until I realised that to get to the other side of the wall I had to follow the shelf on the other side of the stairs round. Mystery solved.

There are lots of other quirky aspects to the library, plus more that I have yet to discover. I think I'm going to have fun there. :)

RANDOM FACT: The chamber pot was also known as a 'jeroboam', shortened to 'jerry', the nickname for German soldiers in WWII, as their helmets resembled said 'jerry' :)

Just in case you missed the pre-launch party, I read an excerpt of The Angels of Islington against the background of music courtesy of Theatre des Vampires. I have since recorded it for those who could not make it to the event. You can hear it here -
