Ooo, great thread – just back off my jollies, so excuse the self-indulgence! 🙂
Fake Law by The Secret Barrister – full of seething rage at how the press has convinced us that the government needs to reduce our right to access fair justice.
Eye-opening and essential.
Acid For The Children – Flea. Wasn’t expecting much but a really enjoyable and accessible read
The Water Dancer – Ta-Nehisi Coates. Don’t read much fiction but I love how this guy writes.
Help – Simon Amstell. Funny, startlingly Frank, a quick read.
Longitude – Dava Sobel. A quick but fascinating read about the race to measure longitude.
Kings Of The Yukon – Adam Weymouth. A canoe trip down the Yukon and much about the salmon that live in it. Outstanding.
Currently reading Man On The Moon, by Andrew Chaikin – a great history of the Apollo project. Thought I knew a bit already – apparently not! 🙂
