Architecture books of interest

I've been reading through a couple of books on the history of modern architecture. One covers, for the most part, everything of note since 1900, and the other is about the works Le Corbusier. For those that may not know, he is arguably the other most famous architect of the 20th century, with the first being Frank Lloyd Wright.

For anyone who might be interested in learning more about architecture, I can easily recommed these books:

Modern Architecture Since 1900 (Curtis)
Le Corbusier Alive (Lyon)
Architecture, from Prehistory to Postmodernity (Trachtenberg)

That last book is still on the way, and it should also be, "like, totally RAD", but since I don't have it, yet, I cannot really say. (Actually, I flipped through this third book while at the Columbus Museum of Art, and I can say it will be awesome!)

Enjoy.
