Dictionary book club would actually be hilarious.
We'd all need the same edition of the same dictionary, obviously. Something relatively smallish, like we're not talking the full OED here, but still including stuff like etymology and maybe first occurrence.
We could do a couple pages a week (or whatever people are comfortable with), and convene to talk about any new words or pronunciations or definitions we learned, interesting etymologies, particularly euphonious or unpleasant-sounding words, aspects or nuances of words not included in the definitions, etc.
