I know your join a bookclub comment was a joke of sorts but I actually did recently do something resembling a book club with some friends where we all read a book then meet at a bar for drinks and talk about it. We did Babel by RF Kuang and it was absolutely a blast.

I don't think it needs to be so formal as an actual book club in order to work and also maybe the lack of formality made it feel less like a commitment and more like just a fun night out with friends for me.

(also, highly recommend babel)
