I've been taking a long break from my exam revisions and, as it is evident, I've been spending my time reading a particular book. It has proven to be extremely fruitful, and I have to thank Dr. K in part for that, especially for raising this book which I had already in possession by that time. I just wished that I had read this book earlier, during the semester, which is quite impossible. Our discussions on historiography would have been much more fruitful. E.g. on the question of whether there is an objective truth to be discovered by historians. I would have said that an insistence on the presence of an objective, rational truth that can be gotten by rational methods is in itself based on irrational belief. But then again that would not have helped reach any conclusion in the discussion, other than to bring the discussion to a much higher philosophical level while at the same time scoring some brownie points with the prof.

I'm rambling, and I should sleep. Should be able to finish the book by tomorrow and hopefully start on my final revision. All good things come so late in life...
