Currently Frank Herbert's "Dune", which is quite good from what I've read so far.

My problem is, I can never actually muster up the motivation to sit down and read it.

I'm coming to Dune from "Fahrenheit 451". I'd give it 8/10, I've found it's a little slow to kick off, but the plot soon picks up.

I think someone had set up a Goodreads account or group for HN readers.

I'm trying to find it but no luck so far (I'm at work, no Goodreads available here).

Invention by Design; How Engineers Get from Thought to Thing by Henry Petroski:

http://www.amazon.com/Invention-Design-Engineers-Thought-Thi...

Previously, I've read his book Design Paradigms: Case Histories of Error and Judgment in Engineering:

http://www.amazon.com/Design-Paradigms-Histories-Judgment-En...

I can't speak on the former yet, but the latter is excellent, and provides a framework for analyzing failures in engineering judgment (regardless of whether you're talking about bridges or software). I've also been working through The Little Schemer.
