You're correct in saying that the comments made later in the month don't get read. The problem is, without a discussion thread posted early in the month, those who were going to comment at the start of the month probably won't be bothered later in the month. Thus, less discussion and ideas.

Next month, when i'm posting the dates, i'll leave a two-week gap. But everytime i've posted threads later in the month it's been significantly less successful. Can't hurt to try though

I'm sure that anyone who reads a book specifically for the book club will want to comment and discuss it later, because this is the whole point of it. If someone doesn't really care about that and is not bothered posting, then it's fair to miss out on their comments rather then on those people who post for the purpose of sharing their opinion and expecting their comments to be answered.

I agree, I like this idea. I think it's worth a shot. I quite like this subreddit and would make the effort to participate in discussion. I'm sure others would for the same reasons, as you stated.

Maybe make a new discussion thread every week or two weeks?
