    • <<some text quoted by the author>> is original quotation using french style quotes while "normal quotes" outside
    • italic is original by the author emphasis
    • bold text is personal emphasis
    • (p69) page number is always refering to the current book unless warned

      • most of the time the bracketed text also comes from the original text, only appearing before or after the quote
  • list the institutional books I have studied (from kindergarden to engineering school)
  • measure "information density" for each book
    • based on the number of quotation per unit? (page, chapter, ...)
  • generate a Causal Reading Tree using
  • ask my former librairies to give me my data
    • listing of books I asked
      • dated
      • time

    • template
      • Bonjour, je souhaiterais obtenir la liste des livres que j'ai pu lire dans le passe. Quel procedure dois-je suivre pour cela ? Cordiallement, moi.
    • use the result as a bootstrapping dataset for CausalReadingTree
  • add to the Template Open Library Covers API (Open Library)
