Excellent and overview of some good website design principles. While I though Steve did a great job of outlining the basics, I personally found it to be a tad over simplistic. It would, however, be a great first introduction for anyone on their first foray in web design.

Smart, funny, and entertaining. A great book to read for any armature or professional web designer.

Got a few chapters in and enjoyed it, but it was due back to the library and I just haven’t gone back. Maybe I still will?

A good book that goes over usability and design. Its really really entertainingly. It's well designed and deserves its spot as the most easy book to read about UX design.

Classic for websites (and probably mobile sites/mobile apps). But I would be happy to find something about web apps as well.

Amazing. Clear principles laid out. A good guide to observing and analyzing user behavior and how to communicate between interface and user. This is a must-read for new or seasoned UI/UX designers.

Great starting point for learning about Web usability. It's quick, too the point and valuable to beginners as well as experts who need a quick refresher.
One of my favorite things is that this book does not live in a bubble, throughout it, Krug suggests reading to gather in depth knowledge on the subjects that he touches.
I heard a collegue talking about picking up this book to learn more about web design, but this book isn't going to teach you much about design. Most things Krug says about design can be summed up with KISS (keep it simple stupid), and at times he's a little anti-design, strongly believing in usability over design.
