I'm organizing a group reading of Artin's Algebra textbook. I graduated recently and am bored as fuck waiting for grad school to start, so I figured we could do something productive on this board (and I can get a little review for quals).
People with little to no background are welcome to join in. That said, Artin will be a tough read at first if you're not comfortable with math; however, we will help you get through it. It's great if you've at least seen some linear algebra before.
We won't read the whole book, because there are parts that I would deem less important or interesting and it's long, but we will at least get the basics of groups and hopefully rings. Artin has excellent exercises, and we will need to work out a system for picking out ones to do. Be sure to get the second edition, as I know there is considerable difference (maybe just in the later chapters, but even still).
Apparently Slack is a good website for group chats, so I'm setting one up. Just leave your email to be invited.

I actually did this for fun between my undergrad and grad with this book by myself a few years ago.
I'd be happy to throw in my 2 cents when I'm not in the classroom this summer, and I could use the review.

Just saying, do not be excited when you get >10 people. Given time, <10 people will be active.
If everyone would rather do IRC, which I think is much easier, just join #artin.

Oh, freenode I think. It's been a while since I've done the whole IRC thing.
