### I am reading books about “Thomas Sowell” and “Critical Thinking” for a new book I intend to write. The structure of my reading list is shown in Figure 1 (file 001.jpg). The chart of my readings is shown in Figure 2 (file 002.jpg).

### I am unable to include the main themes of my readings (“Thomas Sowell” and “Critical Thinking”) in the chart; it only displays the book titles. What am I doing wrong?

### My Best regards,

Folders don’t have nodes in the graph, only files. You can create Sowell and Critical Thinking notes (or other files with their names) to have them show up in the graph.

Alternatively, there might be plugins let you show folders in the graph. (I don’t have experience with any.)
