Thank you for the wise rug advice. And now for something completely different - Nicholas Laccetti sent me this query on FaceBook (which is, to my mind, I'm sorry, a completely useless appendage when it comes to joint interaction and we should all just switch to LJ unless we care passionately about acquiring pixellated beers):
Lately I have been looking around for books set in or about medieval universities (fiction or nonfiction). Since you co-wrote the wonderful Fall of the Kings, I figured you might have some recommendations.
Flattery will get you everywhere - including access to my Brain Trust.
Well, friends?
Me, in non-fiction I would recommend anything about Peter Abelard - it was "his" Paris university that we had in the back of our brains when we started working on Kings. We also read Will & Ariel Durant . . . I'll have to ask
deliasherman what else, when she gets up from her post-novel-nap.
