#There is a Gothic short story waiting to be written about an academic who slowly loses their sanity in a labyrinthine library

Keep thinking I ought to buy more books about Welsh history and then realise that it might be difficult to locate what I want if I have half a shelf of books, 90% of which are written by authors whose surnames are Williams, Davies, Jones, Jenkins, Evans, e.t.c.

#It's already bad enough over in the Scottish history section #There are like multiple guys named Alastair/Alister/Alasdair MacDonald apparently #I still don't know which is which in a given situation and I got taught by one of them #But Wales is a whole other level #How are you supposed to find the right book when the authors all sound like a Barbarians team from the 1970s #Why people spend all their time making fun of the Welsh language (a beautiful and perfectly sensible tongue) I don't know #The surnames though... #Seriously how do people who study Welsh lit and stuff ever find the texts/academic articles they're looking for #There is a Gothic short story waiting to be written about an academic who slowly loses their sanity in a labyrinthine library #On their quest to find the correct article by Evans et al.
