Day 3: Non-fiction of the year.
I have a confession: this year I haven't touched a non-fiction book for fun. Everything that wasn't fiction was either for work or for my master's thesis. That's why my non-fiction of the year is an article. 📕The Earth Is Round (p < .05) by 📎Jacob Cohen. Published in 1994 it's a rare masterpiece of an epistolary genre within the academic and strictly-ruled sea of blandness.
It also opens with a thought which is now (I swear!) my favourite quote:
I make no pretense of the originality of my remarks in this article. One of the few things we, as psychologists, have learned from over a century of scientific study is that at age three score and 10, originality is not
to be expected.
