"A Can Opener for Our Times"
Serious people read non-fiction, after all. But non-fiction books can accommodate readers who drop in and out of their breadth. A person can still derive something useful from a fragment: maybe that's what made non-fiction easier for me, with my perforated concentration.

And so for day 264
