    Yeah- I was all excited about Life Style because of S,M,L,XL and I found the collaboration interesting. But in a way I felt that the book was trying too hard and much of it was filling the space to create a hefty book. However, it reamins to be an interesting book.

    I find some monographs interesting like Soak, Wash, Spin or whatever it was from Tolleson.

    I often carry about a small book on the architect, Tadao Ando, The Colours of Light.

    I find the big book on Rand and excellent resource and Lars Muller's book on L. Muller-Brockman.

    The Harvard project, on building cities is fantastic. Foster On, On Foster is also very interesting as it is quite personal.

    Design, Writing, Research - is thought provoking but I wont read all of it.

    And I am off to replace my much missed, Grid Systems right now from a fantastic book store - William Stout. Though, if you're in London, Magma Books (magmabooks.com) is equally as great.

    Keep suggesting others, I'd like to buy more books.
