Hello! On March 8th I am talking on stage to the brilliant Owain Mulligan, whose book about his Iraq War tour is - somehow - completely hilarious. The whole thing is in aid of the wonderful charity War Child, and it will be FUN if you feel like coming along. Details here fane.co.uk/owain-mulligan

The time I most question my choice of profession is when I move house. Boxes & boxes of books. I have an untouched copy of Robert Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy that has now accompanied me on three separate house moves. What is the most unread book on your shelves?
