Ellis,

This is all about coberst's self-justification for "going it alone". His hobby is unstructured intellectual dabbling in what he ridiculously describes as "the best books". He then lashes together a "collage" of quotations and comments for "display" on forums, just like a primary school "project" would be displayed on a wall. Such "projects" are of course the work of the child who has "let go of the teacher's hand", and stepping back to admire his work says to himself "what a good boy am I". (For coberst read "good" as "sophisticated critical thinker")
