Last week the Tietokirja.fi (“Nonfiction.finland\u201d) event filled the House of Science. This literary happening began in 2007, and from the start the most popular topic has been The Non-fiction Books of My Life, on which well-known writers from Erkki Tuomioja<\/a> to Madventures<\/a> twosome Riku Rantala and Tuomas Milonoff have shared their personal choices. After numerous speeches I started to think about the books of my own life, and I ended up with the following list: 1) The New Dictionary of Modern Finnish<\/a> (along with its predecessors) I chose simply because I use it several times every day. No other book comes even close to that kind of use. 2) Second, I picked\u00a0Wikipedia<\/a>, as its way of production is revolutionary. Wikipedia’s critics need wiki-literacy. 3) My third choice is Alertbox<\/a>, Jakob Nielsen’s collection of columns, which has had a decisive influence on how I see online communication. I deliberately selected the online columns and not one of Nielsen\u2019s numerous books. Nielsen effectively refutes the popular belief that books are always better than online materials. High-quality books can exist both online and on paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week the Tietokirja.fi (“Nonfiction.finland\u201d) event filled the House of Science.
