(no subject)

This paper on Thucydides isn't going to write itself. Which is fine! I have an outline and an opening paragraph and an opening quotation and a stack of relevant books and some nice quotes from a relevant article, and it's not actually due until Monday, because all I need to do tomorrow is give a presentation to the class on it.

On a totally unrelated note, someone give me a good estimate for how many words take about 15 minutes to read at a slow, thoughtful pace.
