If I could also mention that the UX Book Club also has groups forming in Canberra, Sydney, Sunshine Coast, NYC, Twin Cities, Toronto, Tokyo, and London with others in discussion. The http://uxbookclub.org site has the beginnings of each group, but - more importantly - it's a place for you to record your interest in joining the group forming in your city - or starting up your own if your city is currently not listed there.
