The Roam Book Club from when it started to now has discussed eight books in total. It has read parts of books instead of the whole book other than the Sonke one. Synoptical is an opportunity to read all of them together and find some kind of relation between them. A literature review of sorts and see what comes up. To the list, since it was discussed I would add the other Fitzpatricks, and that very popular Clear. A reading list of how to read and take notes. And build a community. Three ideas of reading, note-taking from that reading, and assembling a community for that activity. When they come together what will it be like? What this activity does while summarising ideas is create a newer way of looking at a collection of ideas? I kinda went through, Where Good Ideas Come From and Culture Code. The others I have read. I remember reading them, but I have to read them again and now make that literature review. Need to take notes and make something of that notes came up in RBC4. I pitched that quite a bit then. Then there was a revealing conversation on the making of writing practice, a combination of thinking, note-taking, and writing a combination of thinking and linking these notes together. RBC5 is locked in the need of articulating a method for reading architectural, domain-specific books. I only read to assemble that writing into other writings about architecture, spatial practices, and its production. So those were the two main ideas. RBC4 also had a position of indigenous, non-scientific forms of knowledge construction to think about. For RBC6, it is just how to tie all of the ideas down. There seems nothing new significant in any of the three books to consider. The time for drafts on #secondbrainbuilding is over.
