Well, hello and welcome (and sorry regular forumites for coming and bringing a big new bustle to your peaceful domain).
I'm Relly (@RellyAB on twitter if it as much your drug of choice as mine) and I will be leading the Book club parade here. I work at Headscape as their Content Strategist and I read a lot, all day every day.
Come pledge your allegiance to the club and post a little about yourself so I can get to know some of you. -
Okey dokey.
HI Relly. I'm Lee or @Leesy on Twitter. I work at a lovely little search company called Open Objects where I'm a developer dealing with mainly Java based web applications. Looking forward to diving into some good books with you all.
Lee, -
Hi Relly and Lee. I'm Doug (surprise), I work as a freelancer in the tiny state of Vermont doing client-side dev work, design work, content work... Whatever my clients need that I can do. I work with a lot of small clients so often I have to do every job for them. Because of this I'm slowly learning about every job more and more...
What books are we talking about here? Industry books? Fantasy? Science fiction? I read rather religiously at this point if for no other reason than that my mother happens to be a librarian. Which is great because I can usually get books at discounted rates. -

This month we are tackling Blink and Neuro Web Design, details here: http://boagworld.com/random/introducing-bookclub -
Yeah, I just saw the article and was about to come correct my post. This sounds brilliant! I'm definitely in! Any reason to get new books, really.
Will there be a point when we as a group get to vote for possible new books to read? -

Hi Relly. Definitely up for this, especially as I've already read the two August books. ;-) This is a great way to broaden our collective knowledge and I look forward to the future suggestions.
I'm @finalcontext on Twitter and I do IA, UX, Design, Content Strategy and Online Marketing for an Irish advertising agency - all under the unassuming title of "Web Designer" ;-). Love to write, but currently between blogs. -

Hello all,
Looking forward to discussions of book content, how it affects you and your clients.
Name is Kim (male) here. Located in New Hampshire USA. I have been at it for some time with the web and programming. I run Too Cool Webs out of my home. I have worked as an independent consultant from the late nineties on with the exception of 2006-2009 when I was CIO for 80stees.com in the US. Back to independence Sept 2009 :) Liking it a lot. I specialize in eCommerce and Microsoft technologies. Pretty much a generalist here as I have been at it since the start. -
Hi, I'm Pete. I'm working as a Web Designer in the UK. I think this is a really great idea, one well worth getting involved in. I look forward to telling my colleagues about this and I can't wait to start reading.

Hello!
I'm Pete, and I'm a Web Developer/UX Designer based in Guildford, Surrey.
I love reading and go through as many books as I can find time for. I'm already a member of the London UX Bookclub, so might as well try another! That said, I've got about 5 books on the go at the moment, so might wait till I've finished them before joining in…
You can see what I'm currently reading on ReaderNaut

Hi all,
I'm Lewis and I'm a young web designer, currently based in Oxford.
You can catch me twittering @lewisnyman.
What a great idea, I'm always looking for books that will help me with my job, especially if they lie outside of 'web design.'
I will look forward to suggesting books for the upcoming months! -

Hi everyone!
I'm Dennis (@dkardys on twitter), a web designer based in Chicago. I'm an avid reader of design and development books, and am extremely interested in the connections between user experience design and cognitive psychology. I think this book club is an excellent idea, and can't wait to dig into Neuro Web Design...I've been meaning to pick up a copy! -

Hi, I'm Mark (@markwallis) a web designer from Dublin,Ireland. This is a great idea. I'm hoping this will keep me motivated to read more and introduce me to some new ideas. Just picked up Blink at lunchtime today. -
Hey,
I'm Seb. Currently live in Manchester. Web designer and internet bum.
This is a fantastic idea. I read a lot of books already but mainly code based technical books. Look forward to your recommendations for books that are not so focused on the technical side of the industry.
I miss the podcast! -
Hi, I'm Linda (@hyper_linda) and I'm an interface developer. I have my own UK Limited company, but am currently studying at Hyper Island in Stockholm. I've been meaning to read Nero design for a while now, and Blink is on my reading list from school :) Thanks for setting up this book club, I'm really looking forward to it.

This is a great idea! There are so many books out there that choosing them on my own has been hit or miss. I'm looking forward to getting others' perspectives.
My name is John Graham, and I work for a web design/development company in Atlanta, Georgia in the USA. My twitter, in case you would like to know, is @johnegraham2. -
Hi There,
I am a "slightly" freelance web developer and designer who has been put on retainer by a local design firm.
I don't get a chance to buy books very often so when I do it's going to be good to have this for recommendations and reviews that I can rely on...Or should that be "Relly" on?
:) -
Howdy,
My name is Gaston (@gastonfig) and I'm a web designer and UX guy. I'm currently the Creative Director for a marketing agency in Oregon, US.
This is a fantastic idea. I'm looking forward to reading and discussing some great books. -

Hi, I'm Martin (@thenameismartin) . I lead a double life as a Local Government web team leader by day, and a freelance web designer by night (I need to keep my skills sharp).
I can't wait to get stuck in to some new books. Maybe it will fill the hole that the podcast has left in my life? :) -
Hello all,
I'm Laura (@laurakalbag on Twitter) and I'm a freelance web (/mobile/other) designer from Reigate in Surrey.
For the last couple of years I've been completely rubbish at reading books properly, so I'm hoping that the bookclub and my iPad will get me going again!
Started Blink on the iPad and I'm already fascinated, can't wait to hear what you lot think :) -

Hi together,
another Laura it is.
From Germany and currently working for a car classifieds portal as a product manager.
Love reading that kind of books but always need a little pushing to actually do it.
Half way through Blink already so apparently that works for me.
Can't wait to start discussing. -

Hello everybody,
I'm Phil and I'm in!
I'm from Germany, but am moving to Brussels soon. (Need new contacts there)
I started out in photography before I studied digital film and animation.
I just started out in webdesign a few months ago and work together with my brother who's in the business for a few years already.
I'm eager to learn a lot web-related subjects in order to become a relieable and good webworker.
I think the bookclub could be a good motivation to always keep learning and to make some contacts.
I'm almost through "neuro webdesign" - really liked it so far. -

Hi All!
My name is Bradley (@bradleydurham on Twitter). I am a web developer/designer from Greenville, SC in the USA.
I love reading. When I saw the book club I thought it would be a great way to be encouraged to read some types of books I might not otherwise read.
I started reading Blink the other day. Haven't gotten too far in yet though. -
Hey All,
I'm Lennie, (@drgs100 on twitter). Frustrated web guy in Edinburgh, finally getting around to getting some learning done.
Book club sounds fun, plenty of time on the bus now there's no podcast to listen to. -
Question: When does this technically start and when does the discussion start?
-
OK got finally got books, how long do I now have to read them?

I teach web design and basic IT skills to adults in Surrey.
I probably shouldn't admit this here, but I really wanted to teach creative writing, as my background is in communications. However, it seems there is more demand from learners wanting to learn how to design a website than craft a short story.
I'm excited by the idea of this book club as I love reading, but feel the need to be guided on what books to read first.
I also work part time as a web designer. You can find me on Twitter here: @stuartmoses -
However, it seems there is more demand from learners wanting to learn how to design a website than craft a short story.
With attempts to get people writing great copy for their sites I'm supruised it's not in higher demand.
