This document summarizes the details of a user experience design book club, including past and future meetings. The first meeting was on August 26, 2009 and discussed books such as "Design of Everyday Things" by Don Norman and "The Laws of Simplicity" by John Maeda. Meetings are held every other month on the last Tuesday at the Southern Cross hotel. Books are chosen based on size, availability, popularity, and whether they are in the presenter's bookshelf. The next meeting will be on August 30th to discuss "About Face" by Alan Cooper. The document encourages suggestions for future books to read after that and advertises an open front-end developer position at Provoke.
