I’ve never belonged to an actual book club, but have followed along as a podcast I listen to did a virtual book club. They did it as the article suggests, reading a small portion of the book each week and discussing that one portion for around an hour and a half.

If anyone’s interested, it is the Grey Company podcast, which began as a podcast discussing the Lord of the Rings card game, but branched out to doing the afore mentioned read through of Lord of the Rings.

Also of interest is Tolkien Road, a podcast which reads through and discusses the Silmarillion and other Tolkien works in a bit by bit fashion.
