I don't know if any of the rest of you remember it, but my favorite book club ever was the Global Business Network (GBN)[1] book club, edited by Stewart Brand [2]. The GBN was a network of "interesting" people, and they would put forward books. Stewart Brand would take these suggestions, add his own, and write very insightful reviews. You would really hear about new, interesting stuff there first. It was a book club in a broadcast sense, where they suggest things to read, rather than a discussion forum. Sadly, GBN was acquired and people moved on. For a long time, the list of books and reviews was still online, but now all of gbn.com seems to be down. Maybe that could inspire more of a HN book club, which wouldn't just be "startup books", but interesting stuff in the HN vein. Edit: [3] is a list of the books for 1988 to 2006, from archive.org [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Business_Network http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Business_Network [2] http://sb.longnow.org/SB_homepage/Home.html http://sb.longnow.org/SB_homepage/Home.html [3] https://web.archive.org/web/20070316053617/http://www.gbn.com/BookClubSelectionListDisplayServlet.srv?ok=date https://web.archive.org/web/20070316053617/http://www.gbn.co...
