One of the odd aspects of research, at least in my own case, is that when I'm engrossed in a subject, I assume at least a few others have a similar interest.
Many years ago, while in law school, I began researching a book on the Arizona Right to Work Law and the subject became so interesting I assumed that there must be several other people doing the same thing.
This assumption may be related to the sort of reasoning to which wallflowers fall prey. They think they are the object of intense scrutiny when most of the other attendees at the party are stuck in their own corners with similar worries.
Anyway, my recent research has revolved around Roman law, emperors, religion, and administration.
You know, the sort of thing that captivates everyone.
