In summary, a cosmology book club is a group of individuals who meet regularly to discuss books about cosmology. They typically meet once a month, but this can vary. Anyone can join a book club, regardless of their background in cosmology. Book suggestions are welcome and there are also online book clubs available for those who cannot attend in-person meetings.

Like literature book clubs you mean? Sorry, I can't help, but I find your thinking interesting. And if yes, why not on other physics subjects? Isn't Srendnicki who suggests sth similar for his QFT book?

In USA colleges, we used to call them "study groups" and they did flourish. Hopefully, they still do.
