UXBri Book Club will operate as follows:

• Everyone who attends should try and read the nominated book (you won't be barred from entry, but it helps everyone get more out of the night);
• Everyone needs to jot down and bring along: things in the book that really struck a chord; and things they either hated, disagreed with; or don't understand.
• The book would be within the practice of user experience.
• The book should not be arduous to read!
