Reddit mentions of The Suburb Reader

To start, don't read Jane Jacobs. This is planner blasphemy, but her stuff is old (albeit relevant) concepts, and while her ideas are generally good, you can get much more rewarding information from other modern reading -- most of which includes her ideas.

A couple that are relevant to your interests:

• The High Cost of Free Parking -- Shoup
  
• Context Sensitive Design for Thoroughfares -- ITE
  
• One Less Car - Furness ----- this one can be a bit preachy, but is good overall.
  
• If you're going to be working the 'burbs, This Book is invaluable. Amazing for historical context.
  
  If you're looking for more technical stuff, I can provide recommendations there, too.
  
  Growth management reading is SUPER valuable to any planner's career over the next couple of decades, at least.
  
  Law helps, too.
