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.

http://www.booksprouts.com/

Designed for exactly this kind of scenario, and recently launched.

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 closest site I know that does something similar is http://www.MeetUp.com

You can probably create a "Chicago Hacker Meetup" and start scheduling meetings.
