It's a good idea in principle. Some good new books have recently been published -- by Jodi Dean, Slavoz Zizek, and Alex Callinicos, for example (all available at Mayday) -- which are worthy of being discussed.
A moderator would be needed for each discussion to keep it focused (in the past I've endured interminable dreary monologues by some old bore or ignoramuses -- who usually haven't even read the assigned book -- starting some irrelevant harangue).
Fine with me. Modern books, not too long, perhaps controversial.
How about asking local activists to choose a book that made a significant difference in their political education? That would give us moderators who are motivated and might help avoid the droning AA mentions.
