How To Be A Conservative
/u/setofelements beating me to it twice! Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France would be a must read from a historical standpoint and for something different I would add Kirk's The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Eliot.

This would be a good place to start.
A few books
Reflections on the Revolution in France by Burke
The Law by Frédéric Bastiat
The Conservative Mind by Russell Kirke
The Road to Serfdom by Friedrich Hayek
The Righteous Mind by Haidt, not a conservative and not really a conservative book but interesting research by a social psychologist researching morality and it's impact on political opinions.
For websites, magazines, blogs
National Review not quite as good nor as influential as it once was in decades past but still worthwhile.
Instapundit blog by libertarian law professor Glenn Reynolds. Usually links to articles posted elsewhere with a bit of commentary.
I like the The American Interest. Walter Russell Mead is a self declared liberal editing a self declared centrist publication. But much of his writing consists of a critique of what he calls the "blue social model". At this point I think he's well on his way down the road to becoming a (moderate) conservative but just can't bring himself to call himself one.
For Conservatism at its best, you'll want to check out The Conservative Mind by Russell Kirk. Another book you may want to check out is Reflections on the Revolution in France by Edmund Burke. Edmund Burke was the founder of modern conservatism, and Russell Kirk helped to revive conservatism in the United States.
Moderate majority is not going to happen. The GOP's best bet would be leave the knee- jerk politics of the current right wing and return to the thoughtful conservatism of Russell Kirk.
Great recommendations already. I'll throw in Anarchy, State and Utopia though it may not be the best book club read.
Also, Ideas Have Consequences and The Conservative Mind.
