GUI Design Book Recommendations?

jetpack writes "I've always hated writing user interfaces, and graphical user interfaces in particular. However, I suspect that is largely because I have no clue how to write a good one. I don't mean the technical aspects, like using the APIs and so on. I mean what are the issues in designing an interface that is clean, easy to understand, and easy to use? What are things to be considered? What are things to be avoided? What are good over-all philosophies of UI design? To this end, I'd like to pick up a book or two (or three) and get my learn on. I'd appreciate some book suggestions from the UI experts in the Slashdot crowd."

Pig Toaster - duh

if you use the pig's snout as a lever to make the bread go down, you have a shitty design.

Well duh, any good Pig toaster obviously would use the pig's tail for a lever!

"Form follows function" is one of the main tenants of good design.

Does it pay rent? Can you evict it? If not, it's more likely a tenet.
