This thread is for everyone to post the best books they've read, books they're reading, or books they'd like to read, mostly pertaining to architecture and urbanism. I don't believe a thread like this exists so far, and I'm fairly certain at least some of the posters enjoy reading, and enjoy architecture and urbanism. So, make a suggestion, post a link, give us a summary, hell, write your own book.
I'll start with something that was recommended to me by ablarc and others on the forum (we've got an entire thread dedicated to it,) and probably the quintessential book about cities and planning one can read. I definitely suggest it to anyone even slightly interested in urbanism.
The Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs
Note: Mods, if this already exists or you think it's pointless, or you view it as an intellectual coup to undermine your power and transform aB to a book club, feel free to delete the thread.
