Tried this earlier but it got lost. The two most knowledgable historians I've ever met were educated to, at best, the age of 12, first time around. They both subsequently returned to higher education much, much later in life. At that stage they were contributing more than they were taking by adding to the body of knowledge in their areas of expertise. So to Stacey and anyone who feels the same way on the subject I would suggest joining their local library. Books, books, books, to very badly paraphrase Joyce, yes, yes, yes.
