Neologism: A Merton

A merton is a person who doesn't distinguish between studying a subject and writing a book about it.

 

Cf. The Journals of Thomas Merton, vol. III, 136:  "Thought of writing a book on Columbia under Spain . . ..")  In his short life Merton published some 60 books, some of them good, some of them but attempts to work his way into a subject.
