But there's something lovely and surreal about sitting in an old, academic setting while modern life goes on outside. I really am remembering how much I loved this.
I spent a great deal of my three years in the Bod, and I loved it. I'd quite often get so side-tracked by being in there, that I'd end up failing to read whatever I was supposed to read though...
I also remembered why I'm not allowed in Blackwells bookshop on my own.
I was quite relieved when my account finally expired - it was too dangerous in the 1970s and clearly still is.
