Things I Need to Read/Research

I am currently rereading The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction by Walter Benjamin because one of the ways I write is by creating a web of intersecting, contiguous or vaguely related research. Something along the lines of: 

"This play deals with mechanical reproduced objects! = The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction! = the play is created for reproduction! = the process of reproduction is Act 1 of the play! = Sol Lewitt Wall Drawings!"

During a similar train of thought I realized that if I were to do this project justice I would read/research the following:

1. In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust (seven volumes)
3. The Conventions of Cartography by David Hancock

I will let you know how that goes.
