Something we've done for our book-clubs is assign chapters to different people. They then present a small report on it so that everyone gets the effective benefit of the knowledge without everyone having to read the full book. If the report shows that chapters to be important/interesting enough to the rest of the group they can then go and read it.
Nice, I do like the idea about everyone actually reading the book but this would help streamline the learning experience, which is really what it is all about. I'll bring this up with the team and see what they think!
I have also found an Allison McMillan's post which contains plenty of advice:

Awesome, thanks for the article! I'll check it out, I think I might try assigning chapters to different book club members that does seem to give people a bit more responsibility and might allow them to participate more.
Good luck with your club )
Thanks for the online book club recommendation, Christine!
I haven't yet organized or participated in a book club myself, but I plan to try starting one, so I'm really interested in the topic.
