Rereading One's Writings
Here's a very nice post from Historianess, "On Rereading One's Dissertation." I often still have these reactions to rereading things I've written -- even to things much more recent than my dissertation.
Rereading went something like this:
Ooh, look at the title page. How nice!
I made a table of contents? Really? I have no recollection of doing that.
DOOM! There's a conspicuous typo on page 19!
Reading...reading...reading...hey, this is really interesting! I didn't know I knew about these things!
