Suggested readings?

Was wondering what urbanism-related books people might have read or heard about. I've personally read Walkable City by Jeff Speck, which I found enjoyable and informative. I've also heard of the books written by Charles Marohn (Confessions of a Recovering Engineer and Strong Towns). What others are notable?

You can read Walkable City for free here: http://www.petkovstudio.com/bg/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Walkable-City.pdf , though it's missing anniversary edition content. Don't be scared by the page count, it's only actually like 200.

And wow; being able to walk places is amazing 😍! It's so freeing to not need a car for everything. I the US I live close enough to work to walk, but the terrible design of the stroads makes it very unpleasant. I want to stay here, I don't want to go back to the car dependent suburbs 🙁.

Unfortunately the trip was planned by my parents and we've spent a lot of time in a car traveling to places. I don't mind pretty scenery, but multiple 6 hours days of car travel is boring. And really I wanted to see the urban design, not the country side.
