I'm just about finishing up my copy of "Don't make me think" by Steve Krug. He does an excellent job of making usability a fun topic. The book is a very light read. Not only because of Krugs amusing style of writing, but also the actual layout of the book. Its short with lot's of example illustrations. I read through the whole thing in less than 10 hours.
Krug focuses on webdesign, but I believe anyone who works with computer programming, be it web or applications, will benefit from reading this book. I wish some of the programmers from certain applications I'm using had taken the time to read it.
I can highly recommend this book to anyone who is designing ANYTHING who is going to be used by mere mortals.
