An updated list of the books I’m currently reading.
More importantly, I’m back from my blogging hiatus. I’m hoping to average a few posts a month. Sounds reasonable. To start, here are the books on my shelf right now, all recommended:

- 101 Things I Learned From Architecture School by Matthew Frederick
- The Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs
- Visualizing Data by Ben Fry
- The Works: Anatomy of a City by Kate Ascher
No more months of inactivity! More posts to come shortly, stay tuned.

I’ve wanted to read “Death and Life” fora while now… let me know how it is.

Is the Visualizing Data one any good?
Leon P Jul 28th, 2008
Firstly, I stumbled across this site after downloading lightbox, for which many, many thanks.
Secondly - I’ve been browsing through your blog entries and most of them are about not posting for months! Perhaps you need to focus on one particular thing rather than ’stuff’ (however interesting that stuff is)?

It was great to meet you at DCDesignBabes a month or so ago. I am going to look more into visualizing data, sounds interesting, thanks.

Fantastic little script. You deserve all the accolades especially the one from Guru Nielsen!
Nicholas Hutto Aug 13th, 2008
So i was wondering what you want to work on cause these books seemed themed to each other. But they do all look very interesting.

This script is very GOOD!

Hi Lokesh,
Nice to see you’re posting again…
“I’m hoping to average a few posts a month.” This was posted four weeks ago! :-)
Could we have another Infographics post?
Thanks,
Joe

I can’t wait to read the blog you’re working on regarding the Visionary Art Museum (as well as the Lightbox retrospective) - hurray!

Hey Lokesh,
Stumbled upon this script after hunting for days for that ‘cool flash pop up gallery’. Your lightbox is now standard in most of the sites I maintain.
Just got the RSS so feed me more posts :)
Seriously though, keep up the good work. Also digging the new minimalist-style blog.

Um can I borrow Visualizing data when you’re done with it? I flipped through most of it at a book store and was really impressed with it.

(Thanks a buh-jillion for lightbox.) 101 Things I learned in architecture school, nice! I picked that up by chance, standing in a small book store in Manhattan, and promised myself I’d go back to buy it when I got the chance. The few pages I read were a lot of fun. (that was a while ago, I’ve got to get back to that book soon.) How is it?
