I own a heavily marked copy of this book in spite of having never written a thesis. It contains great advice for any long-term research oriented endeavor. As the article points out, not only will it help you get through the slog of momentous, detailed research without collapsing, it also contains sound advice on how to clear your head and prose before communicating your results. Eco’s recommenced note taking system also superb. It’s no surprise he was able to write so prolifically.
