  Apologies, missed this response. Do you have an email address I can reach you at? It depends somewhat if you’re really interested in the “human” or “social” sciences, but I really do recommend that Eco How to Write a Thesis book regardless. It conveys the old secrets of how to enter humanistic scholarship — and was originally written to allow even working class Italians who might only have access to a library for an hour a week to do so.

    Yeah I'm realizing that HN doesn't have a good way to check for replies. Makes it hard to have any discussion lasting more than a few days... I would really love to follow up on all the comments I'm getting and thank everyone etc. So much missed opportunity :( My email is my username, but replace h with huang, at gmail.com :) Yes I've been looking at Eco's Thesis book, looks very relevant!

As I'm definitely struggling to find enough time/attention in a day to do intellectual stuff.
