La joie de la vie academique

So I was at the library today looking for books for my French paper. There are a lot of books in our library. Like 8 million. I checked out books that haven't been checked out in a decade, and even some guy's 600-page doctoral thesis which was printed, of course, by "Thèse à la carte".

Some gems I found (but was not inspired to check out):

Etude morphosyntaxique du mot où by Pascale Hadermann, 307 pages
De l'emploi du subjonctif passé Eva Hau, 240 pages

Is this what academia leads people to?

Other books with interesting titles:

Des mots sans-culottes Henriette Walter
Je parle plus mieux francaise que vous et j'te merde (ou les joies de la francacophonie) Alain Stanké

Comments

I can say from experience that yes, academia does just that to a person...
