a pack of wolves:
Joseph Conrad - The Secret Agent, Giorgio Agamben - State Of Exception and Jacques Rancière - On the Shores of Politics. I'm finding the Rancière tough going, philosophy isn't my strong suit, but there's some excellent concepts and imagery in there although I think I disagree with his conclusions. You can really tell that it was written for an audience of fellow academics though (it's all adapted from things he delivered at various conferences). The Agamben's much more readable even though I know even less about the law than I do philosophy, he's great at making his argument very clear and doesn't assume too much background knowledge. I'm really starting to like Conrad, I don't know why I've taken so long to get around to him. I only read Heart Of Darkness last week which was a pretty sizeable oversight.

Conrad is good! I like his style even though it's kind of boring, because it's soooo of its time and soooo British..
