I've been in various book clubs and thete is no magic formula. It always ends up with people not reading the book, chaotic meetings, power struggles or waning interest.
As with all communities, you meed a dtrong connection through identity or a shared goal to put time and effort in.
This group works well because we were already friends and all read enough that 1 specific book every 3 months is not a burden. We take it in turns to choose and ensure the books is new to all memebers. No preconceptions about the book. No discussion until the meeting.
