I think they are a great idea for kids that love to read.

Activity conflicts could become a problem for sure...

I wonder if a book club could be done in a forum style format? That way the participants wouldn't all have to be available at the same time/could post at their convenience.

Plus, unlike live a chat, it would give slower typers some time to get their ideas posted.

(My father and I memorized long poems together.)

Oh thank you! I've been trying to think up something that our oldest son and I can do so we have our own club. Memorizing poems... that is way cool.

We started with "The Owl and the Pussycat" when I was very young and took it from there.
