Designing Visual Interfaces 1994
By Kevin Mullet & Darrell Sano
One of the best books on designing interfaces for applications. It is an oldie but a goodie. Even though it focuses on desktop applications, it applies to websites and web applications as well. There are great examples of things done right and even better examples of mistakes to avoid.

Paper Prototyping 2003
By Carolyn Snyder
This pioneering work captures the obscure practice of prototyping computer applications and websites with pen and paper. It sounds simple enough, but there is more to this technique than meets the eye. The technique forces the usability issues upfront before a single line of code is written and avoids the pitfalls that normally plague GUI projects.
