I'm excited about an initiative being developed by Steve Baty, to hold a regular book club focussed on books related to user experience. As Steve says:

Such a meeting would provide experienced folks with a chance to revisit some classics in a critical light; as well as getting an incentive to read some more current materials. And for less experienced folks it would provide them with a forum to ask those 'I don't get it' questions that they might otherwise never understand.

This is a great idea, and I think this will prompt me to read more books, which can't be a bad thing.

If you want more information on the Sydney UX book club, or any of the others that are springing up around the globe, check out uxbookclub.org which will act as a hub for all the different chapters (no pun intended).
