When I decided to write a book, one of the first things I
thought was “I’ve got to have a bibliography.” Really, this wasn’t because I
had any clear notion of why I should have one. It was a reflexive thing.
Like not wearing sneakers to a formal dinner party, I had the distinct
impression of an obligation to have references. Not satisfied (in this
instance) with mere sense of obligation, I’ve been thinking a bit about why
to do this kind of research for a book (and why I didn’t think I had to do it
for the blog) while simultaneously putting the bibliography together.
The following is a little of my thinking about that subject,
then I’ll show off how the bibliography is going (because I use mind maps for
taking notes, and they look really cool).
