My interest in the book club is as an anti-akrasia strategy. I've read the first few chapters of Jaynes and find it easy enough to understand but have not finished it because I generally have trouble with finding motivation to read technical books when I have no immediate application for the subject matter.
That could work, but there are other things you could be doing with your time, given that it's not a fun/useful enough activity to drive you without additional help.
Yes, such as the things I am currently doing with my time. This would be akrasia.
