A good, fun and easy read is Aikido for Life by Gakku Homma Sensei. A direct student of O-sensei, his book is a great introduction to the art. It not only covers some of the basic movement and excercise, it is also a great introduction to the spirit of aikido and how it relates to the physical practice. it took me less than a day to read it, it was fun as well as helpful.
