Titolo: linea di pensiero

Qual è secondo voi il modo migliore per tradurre:
"Sulla base di questo libro ho disegnato la mia linea di pensiero"
Ho pensato a:
"I've based on this book my way of thinking/thinking line"
"On the basis of this book I've drawn my thinking line"
Ma non mi convincono per niente..
Any suggestion?
Thanks. 

 Ma non mi convincono per niente..
Neanche me.
"This book provided me with a frame of reference".

"This book provided me with a frame of reference".
Starting from this book I have outlined my whole philosophy

Oh! je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes
Des jours heureux où nous étions amis
En ce temps-là l'usenet était plus belle,
Et le soleil plus brûlant qu'aujourd'hui.
Les posts morts se ramassent à la pelle
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié...

 "Sulla base di questo libro ho disegnato la mia linea di pensiero"
due tentativi da sottoporre al vaglio dei madrelingua
"to base (my) line of reasoning on"...?
Anzi solo questo perchè l'altro che mi era venuto in mente
"my line of reasoning was shaped on (o upon?)" ?
non trova alcun riscontro nell'immenso mare di Google.

 "to base (my) line of reasoning on"...?
secondo me quella "line" non porta da nessuna parte.
Insisto e rincaro: "the book provided me with a theoretical framework".

"By that book I charted my [intellectual] course."
What?

You can use the literally-translated phrase "line of thought".
"It is on the basis of this book that I've developed my line of
thought."

Thanks everybody!
I think I'll use either Joe's or Father McKenzie's version! 


You don't want to use his version. I think he's translating the
Beatles into French these days. :>)

I'd prefer un peu de soleil, but the last year we have had 367 rainy
days..

I once went to a party at Auden's house, when he lived on St. Mark's
Place in New York City. Nothing but folk music and hippies. Everyone
was walking around with books of his poetry, thinking they would meet
him. He wasn't there. I think he was in England. (This was before he
died, naturally).

Do you know whether these kinds of "W.H. Auden" parties are still given?

You'll have to ask John Edward, since he seems to have all the right
connections.

I read on his site he crosses over a lot... Hope he doesn't get run over 
by a ghost train.
But how did you get to go to a party ad W.H. Auden's house? _And_, more 
importantly, do I want to know? (faccina)

I used to go to weekly talks at an independent Catholic newspaper just
off the Bowery every Friday night, where guest speakers were invited
to talk on any number of issues. The people I met there would often
invite some of us to their social functions. So I went to Auden's
house, and social functions at any number of organizations, including
the Spanish Libertarian League, the Association of Catholic Trade
Unionists, etc.
The newspaper has moved, but they still have the Friday night talks.

Yes, we don't get much of... anything? around here.

Coincidentally, the Tribeca Film Festival will be screening a film
about the life of one of the co-founders of the newspaper, starting
tomorrow night.
