Add Reading Material List For Folks To Dive Deeper

[LuisOsta]

I think it'd be valuable to have a page where we have a reading list full of materials where folks can dive deeper into a specific subject

Absolutely! Would love to get a reading list together.

@zeezephyr Here's also a good source of books - https://bookshop.org/lists/the-war-on-cars-reading-list I haven't read the majority of these so I can't quite vet them. I'll try to read as many of them so I can properly evaluate them

Great! Excited to see what you come up with and your reviews.

Also some thoughts on doing this without needing to rely exclusively on your own reading pace:

1. It's okay to rely on other's assessment of the quality of the books (especially fellow urbanist friends) as long as you trust their judgment.
2. Don't need to read every book to summarize it. It's possible to quote other synopsis/book reviews.
3. We can have sections of something like "Highly recommended", "Starter books", "Other reading", etc. Where "highly recommended" is something we've read and really like.

Yes that makes sense to me
