Random bookshelf - not necessarily HCI
- Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art by Scott McCloud
- The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation by Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas
- Universal Traveler by Don Koberg and Jim Bagnall
- Rapid Viz : A New Method for the Rapid Visualization of Ideas by Kurt Hanks and Larry Belliston
- The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst
- The Measure of Man and Woman: Human Factors in Design by Alvin R. Tilley and Henry Dreyfuss Associates - a human factors book; more measurements than you can shake a stick at!

- Understanding Computers and Cognition: A New Foundation for Design by Terry Winograd and Fernando Flores
- Communities in Cyberspace by Marc A. Smith - the social side of things
- Research Methods in Anthropology by H. Russell Bernard
- The Media Equation by Byron Reeves and Clifford Nass - maybe overstating their case, but a fun read; got me interested in HCI in the first place; find the research papers and read those! read the counterarguments too
- Influence: Science and Practice by Robert B. Cialdini
- Emotional Design: Why We Love (or Hate) Everyday Things by Donald A. Norman - not a classic like The Design of Everyday Things but it's Norman's fuzzier side

More classes!
There's a whole world of designers out there in other disciplines. It's worth exploring out their point of view.
- Some classes include
- CS260 HCI Research Topics & CS294-x (usually x=10) topics classes
- Don't forget AI, graphics, and the relevant EE if your area of interest requires it.
- Outside CS: ME221, I213, I214, I247, IEOR170, MBA290-something (new product development).
- May be worth checking out what's happening in the iSchool (w00t!), Architecture, Art Practice, and the Energy & Resources Group.
- Also Sociology and Anthropology for more qualitative/quantitative methods.
- Also, for the more media-inclined: the Center for New Media
