Non-fiction: "Age of Anger" by Pankaj Mishra - Eye opening work about how resentment develops in societies, and becomes weaponised by politicians - wide ranging examples from Voltaire-era France, pre-independence India and modern day ISIS. "Poverty Safari" by Darren McGarvey - A stunning polemic and sort of memoir about modern-day poverty (particularly in the UK). Will change your mind, whether your politics leans to the left or the right "Anmerkungen zu Hitler" by Sebastian Haffner - Only about halfway through this, but it offers clear observations and insights as to how Hitler gained power in Germany. Published in English as "The Meaning of Hitler", but the translation is a bit sketchy and doesn't have Haffner's clear prose. Fiction: "Guapa" by Saleem Hadid - an amazing portait of LGBT life, and life in general in the Arab world after the Arab Spring.
