The postie knocks on our door more days than not, delivering parcels. Most of these are used books I’ve sourced from around the globe that have some connection to 2012. For people like me, leaving no stone unturned, that’s a lot of books. We don’t know what will happen in 2012, so many topics need to be traversed.<\/p>\n
Last year I wrote a piece on Comet Caesar (which is the cover story this month, Hard Evidence magazine, only available in Australia I feel). That was easy – one book on the comet itself, and less than a dozen on killer comets in general. But for the 2012 meme there is no limit to the number of books I can potentially buy.<\/p>\n
There is, however, a limit to how many I can read, even if I had the good fortune to work on 2012 full-time. At some point I need to admit that I’m buying books I’ll never get to read prior to Dec 2012.<\/p>\n
Thank you eBay! My weekly ritual of checking out books for sale in the Non Fiction \/ History \/ Ancient History is over. History is now as deep as you can drill – the subcategories have been removed. Instead of looking through a thousand books, there are 6,000. <\/p>\n
Too hard, I give up. No more commissions for eBay, no more searching from me. From here on in, it’ll be less buying and more reading. 2012 is getting too close.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, the point of the post: 2012 is a massive subject, probably only equal to philosophical topics. If you go too narrow, you’ll most likely completely miss what will really happen in 2012. If you go too wide, you’ll get in a tangle (unless you are some kind of idiot savant). To achieve the level of 2012 knowledge you<\/span> need, put some effort into defining your boundaries of research. <\/span><\/p>\n For me this includes:<\/p>\n – nothing channeled The postie knocks on our door more days than not, delivering parcels.
