I remember hearing from somewhere that Dave and Rorie were thinking of doing a book club that ended with a podcast discussion every month or so. Might have heard it on a Ramblin' Rorie video.
@Vager: Well that was something I was thinking about that perhaps the Book Club could start a podcast or something. Have a theme and then talk about the issues in the Book for that time period.
I hope I don't come off as a jerk but I don't agree with either recommendation for the first book. We shouldn't do something related to gaming, let's not limit ourselves.
My pick would be Fahrenheit 451, it'd be a good start. Think about it, it's a book about book burning, what better way to start then with something that'll show us the importance of literature. Just putting it out there.
But I'm up for anything, mainly sci-fi. More specifically hard sci-fi or speculative fiction, like Solaris or Rendezvous with Rama.
@Moriarty: Well it's not as much picked as a possible starter due to video games as it is a fun easy read. Kinda start this whole thing off with something with relative ease then go from there.

I didn't mean to be a dick. It's just that I have a personal bias towards Ready Player One and had never heard of jPod. Also, considering the time I spend focusing on video games, I want my other hobbies to scratch different itches.
On a side note ... we should totally be called the "Bookaneers."
I guess we see who is interested in podcasting about books and go from there if enough people are I am willing to learn how to record podcasts edit them.
