Statistics books to read for pleasure

November 17, 2016 By editor

asleep with book

I’ve read quite a few (really) dry, technical books in my time. But even I was shocked to see an article entitled “Statistics Books to Read for Pleasure”.

Isn’t that just a step too far?

However, it reminded me of one excellent book that should be required reading after this month’s polling meltdown. “Everydata: The Misinformation Hidden in the Little Data You Consume Every Day” is an excellent, easy read.

And, yes, I admit it—I read it entirely for pleasure. That can be our guilty little secret.
