I am.

As a teacher, I have access to our online library and in my free time I browse the dissertation library and when I have a chance I read some of them.  Each dissertation is about 200 - 700 pages long!  I generally read the ones on History (Roman History, Byzantine History and ancient history) or philosophy and political theory.

For example:

Here is one dissertation:  An analysis of the presentation of women in five high school world history textbooks - the abstract alone is 24 pages!

This one I find really fascinating and its only 293 pages:  Gender, politics, and rhetoric in Byzantium, 1025--1081

And this one is going to be the next one I read! An economic history of the Jews of Byzantium from the eve of the Arab conquest to the Fourth Crusade

Yep I am a total nerd LOL. - I am just glad I don't have to pay for these!
