When group dynamics undermine shared activities

Our book club has been meeting for three years and we've developed this weird dynamic where two people dominate every discussion and the rest of us just sit there, but we all keep showing up and pretending it's fine. I actually love reading with other people but I'm starting to dread the meetings themselves and I think other people feel the same way but nobody wants to rock the boat.
