I’ve been on a real book-buying binge lately.
I picked up a couple of book at the John Piper sale last week — “When I Don’t Desire God” and “Brothers, We Are Not Professionals.”
My wife just found a used copy of “The Rise of the Creative Class” for me.
I picked up “Heaven Is Not My Home” not too long ago and a new copy of “Against Christianity” still sits on my shelf, beckoning me.
But now I know I must buy one more book, a book I’ve been wanting to read for years. It’s called “City Comforts” by David Sucher, and I’ve been reading his City Comforts blog for a long time. (It’s in my blogroll to the right.)
You can go to this order form to read the descriptions of the titles, but here are the first three:
- How to Build an Urban Village: Why the urban village is appealing, and its three key architectural patterns.
- Bumping into People: The city is a place to bump into, to
It’s a great book. It’s lavishly illustrated — lots of photos to illustrate what makes places comfortable. He also boils down concepts in a way that make them easier to explain to others — the Three Rules being a prime example.
It is great. It’s one of my favorite community-building books. It’s definitely worth owning.
