A lot of astrobiology revolves around origin of life stuff. Try r/originoflife. You absolutely must familiarize yourself with the elements of molecular biology: information (RNA); energy (metabolism); and encapsulation (cell wall). You should read about the RNA World Hypothesis and whatever it cites there by Leslie Orgel - but please recognize it's also not the only game in town. Homochirality is a fascinating topic in theoretical biology, quite a mystery.
There isn't really any one good astrobiology "textbook". You might find Cosmic Biology useful.
It's a great field. The most important thing is to be open-minded and creative, with a healthy level of skepticism. Have fun!
If you want a good introduction that's not too expensive or complex to ease you in, I'd recommend http://www.amazon.com/Life-Universe-Beginners-Guides-Astrobiology/dp/1851685057/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344106799&sr=8-1&keywords=lewis+dartnell
This is a very broad course textbook style introduction as well http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Astrobiology-David-Rothery/dp/1107600936/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1344106857&sr=1-2&keywords=astrobiology
I've heard good things about the Plaxco one though.
In the end though, I'll say what I've said before - 'astrobiology' isn't really a thing yet - it is a context for particular types of science. I would look into what specific type of science you would want to be doing that would fit into astrobiology (say, geomicrobiology, or whatever) from one of the introductory books here and then start reading up on that.
The best book on this topic I have ever come across is Astrobiology: A very short introduction. It’s under a hundred pages and it’s exceptionally well put together by Oxford Press.
It’s very up to date and walks through a great summary of everything we know about astrobiology.
How to Find a Habitable Planet
Rare Earth (somebody else already linked to it here)
Origins of Life - an outstanding 24-lecture Teaching Company course. I can't say enough about this... it was great. The audio version is fine and the course is on sale right now ($35 instead of the regular $130). Or Pirate B... er, the library... if $35 would break the bank.
I got a lot of good ideas from my prvious submission

I got the most up to date version of "Astrobiology: A Brief Introduction"

Hey I know I'm coming in late but for the Astrobiology course I took they required us read "Life Everywhere" http://www.amazon.com/Life-Everywhere-David-Darling/dp/0465015646
