I highly recommend it, even more so if you're doing any kind of level design.

101 Things I Learned in Architecture School
I received an awesome book from Sylvain, another senior designer here at Harmonix. It's 101 Things I Learned in Architecture School, and despite the title it actually has a bunch of really useful, spirit-raising and enlightening things about the creative design process in general:

I'm going to try and not be hungover for your speech so I can lightly heckle you.
Man, I had this book on my to-read list for a long time (so long that I forgot where I'd heard about it), but only recently bought and read it. I've only now realized that I got the book on your recommendation.
I really like it. It has a bunch of great advice for UI designers. (It has even improved my sketches.) Though a few of the tips are specific to architecture (e.g. #90 about rolling up your drawings, or #79 about placing fire stairs), much of what it says applies to design generally.
I've found myself re-reading it often. It sure seems worth keeping at hand.
Thanks for recommending it (and thanks to Sylvain too, I suppose).
