[...] having a list of starter books would be handy. Yeah sure others have their lists like Will Evans, Paul Seys and Nick Finck however some of the books on these are either too complex or take way to long to [...]

“Undercover UX Design” is a good read especially for those in large organizations.

Anyways, “About Face” is my absolute favorite, referenced so many times

I been to San Francisco UX Book Club couple of time and once at Silicon Valley Book Club, here are the books that I read for those meetings:

1) Storytelling for User Experience: Crafting Stories for Better Design (SV Book Club)

2) Web Form Design by Luke Wroblewski (SF Book Club)

3) Thoughts on Interaction Design (SF Book Club)

Take Care,

Stumbled accross your list and it seems you’ve found a lot of my favorites
Have read most of them and I really like Understanding Comics. A possible addition to the list is: “Designing for the Digital Age” (Kim Goodwin, 2009). It has of course similarities to About Face since it covers the same GDD process, but it’s a good read nontheless.

Thanks for the feedback, interesting to hear your views on Mental Models. Its on my reading list but maybe now I’ll demote it in favour of one of the others. I’d be interested to hear what the Canberra groups thoughts are after Monday.

I’ve only read or am reading five of the books on that list – we’re reviewing Mental Models this coming Monday for #uxbookclub Canberra. I’m afraid I won’t have many nice things to say about it. It’s a potentially interesting topic, but it hasn’t been presented well – not written in an educational style. Rambles a bit. I didn’t really learn much from it.
