This quotation from Andre Gide's The Immoralist roughly sums up how I feel at present about my academic subject of choice:
"when I began to turn my attention to some of my old historical studies, I found that I no longer took the same pleasures in them. As I have already told you, since my illness I had come to consider this abstract and neutral acquaintance with the past as mere vanity."
