first book i had to read in architecture school was
"chambers for a memory palace"
http://www.amazon.com/Chambers-Memory-Palace-Donlyn-Lyndon/dp/0262621053

its a great introduction to design and spatial description

also Simon Unwin has a book called "Analysing Architecture" that is pretty standard in schools as well as a book called "20 buildings every architect should understand" that has some pretty iconic buildings in it.
I've been to a lecture of his and he is an amazing speaker and writer.

I really can't recommend this book enough. It's filled with tons of wonderful sketches and very insightful commentary between two architects about how they and their predecessors create(d) buildings, and it isn't written in archispeak which makes it easily understood by non-architects.
