Can this be your tattoo when you are 80?
Without question, yes.
Dude, you’re going to get a tattoo when you’re 80?
FRBR is cool and all, but it has serious limitations due to its heavily theory-based genesis. How does it deal with the concept of a “superwork?” How does it deal with real life works and the craziness that is publishing history and practice?
Although pretty much written pre-FRBR, I highly recommend Richard Smiraglia’s The Nature of “A Work.” Besides a bit of philosophical and definitional analysis of the conept “work,” it points out, and includes, the only real empirical research done on works out in “the wild.” Good stuff, I guarantee it.
At lunch, the subject of sky diving came up and I said I’d do it at 80. By that age I’ll have beaten the odds anyway. It’s much less likely I’ll get a tattoo at any age, but hell, by 80 I might reconsider my position
I’ll look into the Simiraglia book, though I’m wary of anything that gets too heavily into serious philosophy. However, it sounds interesting enough that it might hold my attention.

Michael Gorman speaks to me in my dreams.

Ranganathan totally facets the s*** out of my dreams.
Hey now, watch it with the language — my mom reads this site!!!
Smiraglia isn’t really all that heavy on the philosophy. Honestly, trying to judge some of the research methodologies (esp. statistically-related) was the heaviest part for me.
Is it the same dream each time? If so, is each dream a manifestation of the expression…?
