The books I am reading: The Theology of the Old Testament, Walter Brueggemann. Barchester Towers, Anthony Trollope.

The book I am writing: I am not, at present. I am vaguely meditating writing something about gender, sexuality, and the body of Christ, drawing heavily on mediaeval sources, but informed by modern perspectives, but I'd have to know more about feminist and queer theology than I currently do, and at the moment I don't have time.

The book I love most: Oh goodness, I couldn't possibly just pick one. The Lord of the Rings is up there. So is Gaudy Night, and so is Die Aula (Hermann Kant, an East German Bildungsroman, and I swear it's better than that makes it sound). Right at the moment, Thomas Aquinas and the Summa are rocking my world.

The last book I received as a gift: Umpf. I can't remember. If we're counting books which were bought Christmas Amazon vouchers, Dorothy Lee's Flesh and Glory, a wonderful reading of symbolism in the Gospel of John. Other than that, I have no idea. Which is quite bad.

ETA: technically it was the Book of Common Prayer, a gift from the Prayer Book Society,


The last book I gave as a gift: Andrew Davies et al, Lift Up Your Heart.

The nearest book on my desk: Dead heat between the Brueggemann (which I need to get back to) or the Book of Common Prayer.

Title: Unfinished Business.
Characters/ Pairing: Dr Liz Shaw/ Brigadier Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart.
Rating: 15. I expect that’s what the BBFC would give it, anyway.
Warnings: none, other than the fact that this is not my normal sort of fic. For a start, there is actual sex, and the fade to black cuts in quite late.
Summary: Liz has unfinished business with the Brigadier. She thought she’d accepted it would have to stay that way…
