I prefer the term "maintainability" to "readability", and I completely agree with you there.

Reuse is an emergent property of code, though. It's very tough to engineer for reuse upfront and have that effort be successful. It's best to keep your code simple and put your effort into making it well-tested. Then, over time spot the commonalities in everyone's code, and factor out the common bits to become reusable code if everyone agrees it's worth it to do so.
