The first time I went to Uni, I studied Maths :D I know all about elaborate masochism. :D
Unless you did not mean the act of reading those books was masochist!
A Louis-like friend was reading a huge book about 'maths explained to literary people in literary language', I had a look for fun and it was the ultimate masochist book: the complicated concepts of maths explained in the complicated language of humanities, not the clear straightforward language of maths. And the arcane language of humanities without the subtleties/relevance/debatability (I made this word up) of them.
