I'd like to call out three books that I recommended in my recent Guardian article on the question of animal emotions (https://t.co/07Z9eaizzj). "Metazoa" by @PGodfreySmith, "An Immense World" by @EdYong209, and "Between Us" by @BatjaMesquita. All are great reads.

Scientific criticism is necessary for us to progress as a field. But based on what you've written in "The Hidden Spring" (and on Twitter), it appears that your grasp of the theory of constructed emotion has some significant gaps. 1/

A Man Called Ove, by Fredrik Backman. A masterpiece. Ove is a grumpy old man and a creature of habit. But every tiny quirk of his behavior has a good reason, and this book masterfully pieces together his story. (I haven't seen the American-ized film with Tom Hanks.) 3/7 https://t.co/88Z10CYo13 https://t.co/FVn621baca

A Deadly Education, by Naomi Novik (The Scholomance, Book 1) Galadriel is a loner at a school for magic where half the senior class dies each year. She may be a powerful evil sorceress. Or maybe not. All 3 books have rich character development & kindness in unexpected places. 7/7 https://t.co/MQQAc0eapr https://t.co/dLbLvQ0W2V

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, by Helen Simonson. An unlikely friendship between a retired British major and a Pakistani shopkeeper blossoms into something more. My husband, who generally doesn't read love stories, also adored this book. 2/7 https://t.co/hm5gbtqZHf https://t.co/lrfm38YOdF
