Ebbed and flowed. Got rid of a couple of books I regret getting rid of, won't happen again.

Told ya.

Aside from a pile of historical stuff:

• Japanese House, A Tradition for Contemporary Architecture
• In the Nature of Materials (Wright 1887-1941)
• The Age of Barns (Sloan)
• Mies Van Der Rohe (by Philip Johnson)
• Architectural Visions, The Drawings of Hugh Ferriss
• Greene and Greene (Makinson)
• Greene and Greene, Gamble House (Global Architecture monograph)
• Marcel Breuer Furniture and Interiors (MOMA)
• The Drawings of Frank Lloyd Wright
• Frank Lloyd Wright on Architecture, Selected Writings
• Gustave Eiffel (Rizzoli)
• Handmade Houses, A Guide to the Woodbutcher's Art
• To Engineer is Human (Petroski)
• East European Modernism 1919-1939
• Japanese Gardens (Mehta / Tada)

I have changed countries on average each 2 years over the past 10 so periodic purging of posessions has occurred. This decimates books especially, as I almost never read anything twice and that makes books a very bad bulk-to-usefulness ratio for me. In general I make a point out of not reading about architecture in any form outside work. My hypothetical list I think would contain absolutely zero archi-literature, I can't think of anything worse than reading Rem on the beach to be honest..:)
