Real Name: David Roberts
About My Library: Stocked with textbooks and other works accumulated during many decades as a student and lecturer in the social sciences - especially history, politics and sociology. But also incudes fiction - especially realist novels on working class life and history - political biography, political humour and books by my favourite writers, including George Orwell and Bill Bryson.
