Haven't been reading as much as I would like as I've been on holiday and busy with work
1) Wolff - Fire and Fury
2) Feigenbaum - Tear Gas - pleasently surprised. Very much enjoyed
3) Mark Fisher - The Weird and the Eerie
4) Kilcullen - Blood Year: Islamic State and the failures of the war on terror
5) JG Ballard - The Drowned World
6) Geoff Manaugh - A Burglar's Guide to the City
7) Graham - Vertical: The City from Satellites to Bunkers - Really excellent. His Cities under Siege book is probably the best thing I've read on the 'militarisation' of cities. This is as good. He also has the comedy distinction of being arreseted vandalising cars with polite graffiti whilst in his pants
Jesmond professor Stephen Graham shamed by conviction
8) Lefebvre - Rhythmanalysis (re-read)
9) Kahneman - Thinking, Fast and Slow
10) Zizek - First as tragedy, then as farce
11) Deutsch/Kuhn - Antifascism, Sports, Sobriety: Forging a militant working-class culture: Selected writings by Julius Deutsch
12) Dyer-Witheford - Cyber-Proletariat - this is really excellent. Will have to go back and re-read CyberMarx I enjoyed this so much. Chapter 2 has some of the best short explanation of key marxist ideas I think I've ever read
