Lots of reading are available to technical people who are willing. People elsewhere in this thread have mentioned Nagel and Newman, and also Smullyan. Here are two more:
1) Smith's Introduction to Godel's Theorems http://www.logicmatters.net/igt/ http://www.logicmatters.net/igt/ is a great book, with all the mathematics but willing to go into the philosophy.
2) Franzen's Gödel's Theorem: An Incomplete Guide to Its Use and Abuse http://www.ams.org/notices/200703/rev-raatikainen.pdf http://www.ams.org/notices/200703/rev-raatikainen.pdf is enlightening in a different way.
I'll also mention a favorite author around here http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=710 http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=710 .
