If you think finding the time to rock climb is difficult with your schedule, you're gonna be a very infrequently climbing ice climber.
Also, I will reiterate what everyone else has said - go rock climbing. Having to fumble around with building anchors while you're soaking wet, frozen solid, the wind is howling, and spindrift and ice chunks are falling into your eyes is a quick way to get turned off the sport.
Better to learn on 80 degree days in shorts and a t shirt.
You need to ease into the misery of winter climbing slowly.
As far as books: How to Ice Climb (by Craig Luebben), Extreme Alpinism (Mark Twight), and Climbing Anchors: 2nd Ed. (John Long) should be on your reading list as well.
