I'm looking to buy a good UX design book. Does someone have any recommendations?

Hey Kristian,

You're looking for Don Norman and Steve Krug. These two designer's books are quintessential to learning the tenets of human-centered design. At the very least, read Don Norman's opus; it's as comprehensive an introduction to the universal design process as you're likely to ever find.

I strongly agree with Mikis, The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman is an amazing book!
