  • I gave a copy of Invisible Cities to a colleague who was leaving, as he's a bit of a flâneur type. I thought he might find it interesting, but I've never actually read it myself, so I'm about to find out if it was a terrible choice or not! I'm hoping it's good. Getting psychogeography/hauntology vibes from it, and that's a thing I've been enjoying lately, so we'll see.

  • Talking psychogeography, and looking at that list, have you read The city and the city? Theres a few weird fiction books that use alternative geography as a crucial part of the story. Its something I love and China Miéville is one of may favourites. Also Neil Gaiman and recently as an easy read The rivers of London series.

  • The City and The City is decent! I'm not a huge fan of his but enjoyed that.

  • I haven't! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to the list. I've only read a couple of short stories by China Miéville and keep meaning to pick up something bigger as I really enjoyed what I did read.

    I've not read the rivers of london books yet either but a mate recommended them recently with the summary "a copper starts fucking one of the avatars of the London rivers" so obviously that went right to the top of the to-read pile.
