I recommend reading “Why We Buy” by Paco Underhill in addition to “Don’t Make Me Think”. The parallels on compulsive buying and today’s web user’s compulsive clicking habits is too clear to ignore.

Read “dont make me think” and while its a good book, think its slightly over rated.

Coming from a print background, I needed the concept stated in a simple way to take me to the next step - learning about web design.

Nope, designing a poster is NOT the same at all.

Also I have 3 coding books that you suggested for me, so I will check these out, thanks.

@Barney - You do bring up some good points that I agree with. In some forms, Krug is a bit out dated with relevant information to where the web is beginning to head. But the base he supports most of his concepts around is rock solid, and surprisingly still widely underused in the professional community at large. Once these concepts of usability design have been adopted by the majorities as opposed to the minorities, we can start to tackle some of the new issues that have arisen recently with the birth of new interactive technologies. Thus is the life of our profession, and yet here we are loving every minute of it.

I might also suggest for books Transcending CSS. A beautifully structured resource book with great advice in combining the technical and asthetic sides of CSS for effective design.
