Here's three I picked up last year and have thoroughly enjoyed. I am quite fond of Don't Make Me Think.
1. Don’t Make Me Think! A common sense approach to Web Usability<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321344758/ref=oss_product>by Steve Krug -- How to make things make sense. 2. The Non-Designer’s Design Book<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321534042/ref=oss_product>by Robin Williams -- Concepts of design. 3. The Design of Everyday Things<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0465067107/ref=oss_product>by Donald Norman -- Analysis of everyday objects.
