Does anyone know of any existing austro-libertarian book clubs, and if there are none presently actively would anyone be interested in forming one?  Ideally we would meet once every week or once every two weeks, having read a chapter or essay and then meet to discuss and debate the ideas of that essay.  If you are interested perhaps you could suggest a time and book that would be amenable to you.

also I guess we should have suggestions on where we should meet.  google hangouts is one option.

I'll go first and recommend 'economic calculation in the socialist commwealth' by ludwig von mises

I know that is what Jeff Tucker is trying to do over at Laissez Faire Books.  They release EPUBs once every two weeks (recently changed from once a week), and there are forums there where people can discuss the books (I am not a part of LFB Book Club so I don't know the details):

I also know that over at LibertyHQ, a reading group recently started up for MES (there are three parts so far, I have linked to the first part):

If you are going to be reading books, please mark down any typos you find, and report them in this "Book Typos" thread, it would help greatly:

My long term project to get every PDF into EPUB: Mises Books
