I have a question too:
How many hours of reading corresponding to five or six hours of writing? and
how to 'balance' them?
This question is pertinent (among other things) because of the charge of the
likes of Martin Jay who have accused Foucault of not doing enogh research as
the basis of what he writes.

Foucault writes:
'It was in Sweden, during the long Swedish night, that I caught this
obsession and this bad habit of writing five or six hours a day...'
('Interview avec Michel Foucault', Dits et Ecrits t.1, Paris: Gallimard,
p.652
This explains a lot - what I would like to know is how do I develop similar
bad habits??
