I'm thinking of arranging a virtual nonfiction book club wherein everyone participating reads a *different* book relevant to a common topic

I see the value in the idea. But what do you talk about every week? Without logical sync points, it's just a discussion group not a book club. If you pick voracious readers sync points could just be whole books.
"Discussion group where everyone has very recently read something substantive on the subject at hand" is less catchy than "book club"

Ah, okay. Quibbling over semantics is a low form of argument so I'll stop. I do worry the lack of structure demolishes the value proposition of a book club (shared context, specifically). But discussing an interesting idea with literate informed people is an easy sell.

Interesting alternate might be standard book club structure on one book, divide and conquer its bibliography.
