Comments on: The Books that Altered the Course of My Universe http://msafi.com/the-books-that-altered-the-course-of-my-universe/ The friendly blog of MK Safi Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:50:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Mahogany http://msafi.com/the-books-that-altered-the-course-of-my-universe/comment-page-1/#comment-423 Mahogany Sun, 14 Feb 2010 13:29:22 +0000 http://msafi.com/?p=656#comment-423 Yep, you're right -Dont Make Me Think IS about user interface stuff, but I think it's definitely applicable even for bloggers. You should see the "off the rack" version on my theme. I customized the he'll out of that thing even before reading that book (mainly colors and logo stuuf) then went and did some more (menu organization, content principles, etc.) I agree on your stance to start an info fast. There comes a point where one needs to JUST START or apply what's already been taken in to produce MORE. After taking in a foundational amount of info, we do outselves an injustice if we procrastinate on putting it to actual use.

"Don't Make Me Think" is mostly about user-interface design, though, isn't it? *maybe I'm confused*. I have actually stopped reading. I don't know exactly why but I think it's because I feel that I know enough already to do things. So, it might be time for me to stop taking-in and focus entirely on production!! Still, I definitely would like to know what those interesting books are about. I heard a lot of good things about the two titles you mentioned.

Do you ever read industry-specific books like Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug or Socialnomics by Erik Qualman? I think there's a lot of interesting (and SUPER useful for folks like us) books out there that don't get as much attention as the fiction writers and commercial mega-authors may. :) ok then M, in that case, it’s not such a commendable offense lol.
