Jamie Berrout. Essays Against Publishing. A confronting look at publishing from a trans perspective.
Bodhidasa. Approaching Enlightenment: a Guidebook for Buddhist Ritual. A thought-provoking, accessible book (by my great mate).
James Fulcher. Capitalism: A Very Short Introduction. I found this difficult to read. Partly, it was my lack of background in the subject; and partly, it wasn't.
Elizabeth Jolley. The Well. This was amazing.
Roz Kaveney. Tiny Pieces of Skull: Or, a Lesson in Manners. I bought this to review it,but I don't know how to start I think I know how to approach it now. (btw, I highly recommend it.) Here's my review.
Ian Rakoff. Shadowboxing: Comics in a Climate of Fear. An autobiography -- a child's account of growing up under Apartheid. I keep trying to find a single word to describe its atmosphere of creeping fear and unspoken evil, and failing.
Alan Stern and David Grinspoon. Chasing New Horizons: Inside the Epic First Mission to Pluto.
Kyla Lee Ward. Those That Pursue Us Yet. Lush horror.
Tom Wolfe. The Kingdom of Speech. A riot.
