Design

 I'm generally not a fan of design books, but I'm reading two right now that are quite good: Fresh Styles for Web Designers: Eye Candy from the Underground and Understanding. The former, which is much better than the name implies, is a good tour of young web design structured in a sensible and somewhat provactive way. Quite unrelated, the latter is an attempt to make the American demography digestible in graphic form. The website is a good compendium to the book.
