Isn't there some Web 2.0 app that organizes book clubs like this? I have a couple books (signal processing, compilers, programmable logic) that I'd really like to work through with a couple people; what I really want to do is get together every other week or so over beers in Chicago, though.

I actually had the idea to make a site like this last night. bookbuddies.com or something like that. You could start an online book group with a few people and have your own forum, but also see the forums of other people who are reading the same book.

I'm pretty sure http://www.librarything.com fulfills this need though.

The texinfo SICP ( http://www.neilvandyke.org/sicp-texi/ ) is good too, if you're working in Emacs.

I am, thanks!
