1. Based on title alone, I would say “About Face” is second – I just can’t argue with “Don’t Make Me Think”.

2. In non usability, either “A Short History of Nearly Everything” by Bill Bryson, or the classic “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” by Robert Pirsig.

3. Nice try. Tradition? I always use Favorite Pet’s name.

1. Steve Krug ate his own dog food and made usability usable, Don’t Make Me Think is fab

2. “Inmates” is great too. I like “Peopleware” by Constantine and Humane Interface by Raskin too.

3. I’ll tell you if you tell me the name of your first school :-)

1) I love Don’t Make Me Think — both for the content & the title.

2) I just finished reading Conspiracy of Fools, which is about Enron, and as near perfect a title for that story as can be imagined.

3) I wish I knew (why, not Mom’s maiden name).
