Ask HN: Recommend some good books for a dev with no design background?

I could think of top 10 lists for algorithms, web application security, reversing, design patterns... Things programmers should or might want to know about.

I think to be a more well rounded individual I would like to start reading up on design. Graphic design, UX design, typography, style. Please tell me where to start!

Also: it seems like all the important design communities are by invite only (Forrst for example), which makes it hard to get started from a social-web perspective. This isn't true for the programming community given sites like this, /r/programming, StackOverflow, github and bitbucket, and the multitude of open source projects. Oh well. Just an observation.
