- Barbican: Penthouse Over the City by David Heathcote
Most of the book is a detailed look at the various stages of planning the Barbican went through — a lot of local politics, which can get tedious if you're more interested in the buildings themselves. But this is all good background info, and while I'd have liked more details about the finished estate, buildings, flats, fittings and culture it's recommended if you happen to be fascinated by the peculiar place that is the Barbican.

French & Saunders won a 'Lifetime contribution to British comedy' (or something) award on the British Comedy Awards last night.
Apparently there's no requirement to be funny in order to make a contribution to comedy.
