  book recommendations if you will my friends. Decided to do a bit of an amazon splurge, I'm looking for things that might help me get my head back into a proper design space, and also teach me about user experience or coding.

  Particularly anything that might set a spark off toward getting my design mojo back though if anyone has been inspired recently

  cheers

  don't mean to be a pain, but could you guys post a link to the book rather than just the cover, its kind of useless otherwise, considering how lazy I am ;)

  thanks for the suggestions so far, much appreciated

  I know nothing about design books, but these are some I've read last week:

  http://www.amazon.com/Logicomix-…

  http://www.amazon.com/Going-Rogu…

  obviously in order of recommendability (which I am sure is not a word)

  I don't read, but i like audio books. I got Tracy Morgan's " I am the New Black"

  i enjoyed it. Very different from what I expected, he actually told some very good stories. It wasn't all about jokes.

  • could you try and read the post at least, just this time for me?– kelpie

  More of a borrower than a purchase, but someone bought me this years ago, and I found it kinda illuminating...

  

  • good book– scarabin1/3

    This is a great book, principles go much further than comics, which I guess was the point of the whole book– Ranger2/3

    Don't bother with the sequel though– Ranger3/3
