Every engineer and designer should read it. It's a classic, and a quick read.

The irony of it is, of course, everyone agrees with it, laughs at the stupid 
designs shown in the book, and then goes right out and create their own equally 
stupid designs.

Making designs that are intuitively obvious is amazingly difficult.
