I usually just start threads for the individual books I have read. I do it when a book has particularly interested me. You are welcome to start a Readers’ Club, though. I cannot guarantee the interest. You would probably do better to limit the scope: like Sci Fi or Fantasy or Non Fic, something like that.

The mods maintain the [SDMB Book Recommendation Thread Compendium](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=599130) as a sticky on the top of Cafe Society.
