Got a new book "[Don't
Make Me Think!](http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0789723107/ref=sr_aps_books_1_1/026-8265044-4493215)" by Steve Krug. This is a fantastic book and very short - important,
it means I'll actually read it. Along with a [series
of articles](http://www.joelonsoftware.com/uibook/chapters/fog0000000057.html) by Joel Spolsky I think that this should be compulsory reading for
every web developer. Too many sites are ruined by being a pain to use.
