Gather a group
This may be a group of friends if you share literary tastes, or you can find other people who are interested in forming a book club in your area through the internet - try the site of a book publisher. You do not want the group to be too big as you want to have a voice in the discussions, but you want to have different opinions enough to make it interesting. Try somewhere between four and eight members.

D agreement on a book
There are many ways to choose the book you should read for a book club. Different ways work best for different groups, perhaps a democratic vote would work for your friends, or you can take each in turn to choose your favorite reading in the coming sessions. Always try to keep a book in advance so that you allow everyone plenty of time to read before the meeting.

Stick a calendar
Getting people together on a regular basis is no small feat. With everyone living their lives according to their own schedules, it can be difficult to find time to fit in a coffee with a friend, much less a regular book club. It pays to decide how often you will meet, for how long and where. Once you have decided on a day of the week or the month, making it non-negotiable. You can use online calendars to send reminders nearer the time, and once you have all used to it it will be harder to break.
